Carney Awarded for Cross-Party Leadership in 2021

On Dec. 9, 2021, in Washington, D.C., the fourth annual Millennial Action Project (MAP) Rising Star Award was presented to State Representative Devin Carney (R-23). The Rising Star Awards recognizes lawmakers who have embodied MAP’s mission to transcend political polarization through their public service.

“I’ve always placed tremendous effort in supporting good public policy, regardless of where it originates from, so I’m incredibly honored to receive the Rising Star Award from my peers at the MAP for my work in promoting their mission of transcending political tribalism,” Carney said. “Despite the polarization that seems to be overplayed in the news, I firmly believe there is so much more that unites us politically than divides us, particularly among younger generations. I hope more young people get involved in public service; it’s amazing what you can accomplish when you put your name on a ballot or actively support a cause or organization. Thank you to MAP for all of their amazing work and for this distinguished recognition.”

The Rising Star Awards reception was held on Dec. 9, 2021, at Colada Shop in the District Wharf of Washington, D.C.
