Governor O’Malley visited the White House Friday morning for President Obama’s announcement of a new position of Cyber Security Czar for the federal government.
As chair of the Homeland Security Task Force for the National Governor’s Association, O’Malley is an authority on government cybersecurity.
In an April interview with the Baltimore Business Journal, Governor O'Malley said, “this is an ideal time for Maryland to tap into the tremendous opportunities in the cyber-security industry. As the U.S. government ramps up to spend billions over the next several years to protect government systems and networks from increasing cyber threats, we expect many of those dollars to flow into Maryland.”

I first met the men and women of the 224th Area Support Medical Company of the Maryland Army National Guard at their deployment ceremony in March of 2008. Six months ago, I was able to speak to them again via video teleconference while they were on active duty in Iraq.
A clear sign these guys are true Marylanders: when I asked if I could get them anything while they were over there, all they wanted was crab cakes.
Because we couldn't bring crab cakes to them -- shipping seafood to the desert is a tricky business -- we decided to bring them to the crab cakes, by arranging for a picnic yesterday afternoon.
I can't think of a better way to spend Memorial Day weekend than with the service members who work so hard and sacrifice so much to protect our country.
Will you help me welcome them home by writing them a message thanking them for their service? Click here to write a note, which I'll pass along to them.
This morning Governor O'Malley delivered remarks introducing President Obama at the U.S. Naval Academy commencement ceremony. His prepared remarks are pasted below.
Mr. Secretary, Admiral Fowler, distinguished guests, officers, midshipmen, alumni, fellow Marylanders, fellow Americans, we in Maryland are very proud to be the home of the United States Naval Academy. And we are very proud of all of you,... the future of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
It is a great privilege to share this happy day with you, and a humbling honor to have been asked to introduce your most distinguished commencement speaker.
A great American once said that "responsibility is the greatest right of citizenship and service is the greatest of freedom's privileges."
The 44th President of the United States is a living example of these words. His leadership is inspiring Americans from all walks of life to embrace our shared responsibility to advance the common good,... and his leadership is awakening a renewed sense of hope and optimism in the American spirit.
President Obama is strongly supportive of the United States military; he believes in giving you the tools and the support that you need to protect the safety and security of our families.
In a 21st century world where our national security is inextricably linked to our ability to create and innovate, President Obama is investing in the primary ingredient of innovation - public education and the skills of our workforce in science, technology, engineering and math.
In a world where our security is impacted both by global terror and by global climate change, he has called for a new wave of discovery, so that together we can build a safer and more sustainable future for our country and for our world.
Most importantly, he is unafraid to call upon the most important power we possess as a people - the power of our ideals; our shared belief in higher truths -- freedom, justice, equality of opportunity, and the dignity of every individual.
It is my honor to introduce the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama.

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack this weekend praised the state of Maryland for its proactive efforts to keep drinking water clean in an article he penned for the Baltimore Sun.
Maryland was the first state to participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program in 1997 and since then has prevented 8.6 million pounds of nitrogen, 820,000 pounds of phosphorous and 149,000 tons of sediment from going into the Chesapeake Bay.
Just last month, Vilsack and Governor Martin O'Malley amended the agreement to make it even easier for farmers and landowners to practice conservation.
Governor Martin O'Malley delivered the commencement address for the University of Maryland, Baltimore's graduation ceremony today.
He cautioned the professional school graduates that they must remain optimistic despite the uncertainty of today's economy and implored them to take leadership roles in their lives.
Governor Martin O’Malley stopped by the Kojo Nnamdi Show on WAMU yesterday to discuss the recently concluded legislative session and his vision for the future of Maryland.
In addition they discussed the effort to clean up Chesapeake Bay, the economic recession, the death penalty and Maryland’s public schools.
The effects of the nation's economic hardship are hitting Maryland hard. We're fighting every day to protect Maryland’s families during these tough economic times. We’re also working every day to make sure that government and its programs work for people.
