Concerns have resurfaced among federal workers in Washington, D.C., as former President Donald Trump proposes relocating up to 100,000 federal jobs from the region under his Agenda 47 plan. Laura Dodson, a representative for the American Federation of Government Employees, expressed that this proposal is causing significant anxiety about job security and potential disruptions to their lives, echoing past experiences of office relocations during Trump's administration. Critics warn that such moves could lead to a wave of retirements and job changes, weakening federal agencies and harming the regional economy, particularly in the context of an upcoming competitive Senate race in Maryland. Additionally, federal employees are worried about “Project 2025,” a proposed overhaul that could eliminate thousands of jobs and strip away civil service protections. The proposals are seen as politically risky for Trump in a state that leans Democratic, with even some Republican candidates voicing disapproval. The overall atmosphere of uncertainty is contributing to widespread discomfort among federal workers.
