Last week, House Democrats forced a vote to send crucial military aid to Ukraine and place sanctions on Russia – and it passed! In today’s edition of Sarah Explains It All, I’ll be breaking down how we did it.

As the daughter and granddaughter of Army, Navy, and Air Force veterans, I know firsthand how crucial supporting military families is to enrollment, retention, and readiness because delivering for these families means delivering for our servicemembers. Stay tuned for our progress!
This week, I sat down with members from the Maryland chapter of Blue Star Families to strategize how we can expand access to child care and employment opportunities both on and off base for military families and spouses.
For over 15 years, Blue Star Families has served one of the largest non-profits helping our veterans and military families build community and get the support they need.
That’s why I voted YES on @norcross.house.gov and Rep. Stauber’s bipartisan Faster Labor Contracts Act so our workers can more easily fight for the wages and benefits they deserve. Good news: with 20 Republicans joining Democrats, the bill passed the House!
Weekends, sick leave, child labor law – these are just a few rights we have thanks to unions. Yet, on average, it takes over 465 days for a new union to secure its first collective bargaining agreement. Our workers should be able to negotiate from day one rather than being held up by employers.
I’m so grateful to have been part of Team Democrats this year and proud that, as first base coach, we had no base running mistakes! Thanks to everyone involved for a great ball game and an even better cause.
⚾ First Congressional Baseball game in the books! Last night, we stepped off the House floor and onto the field to raise a record-breaking $3.2 million for incredible charities across the DMV!
Our young leaders who continue leaning in and staying curious about public service are who give me hope.
Even on the busiest days in Washington, it’s always a highlight meeting with our bright young Marylanders! Between votes, I spoke with Elizabeth – a rising junior & current @alsobrooks.senate.gov intern – & answered some of her questions about my work in Congress & how I got my start in government.

⚾Tonight, I’ll be joining the longstanding bipartisan Congressional Baseball game as the Democrats’ first base coach, representing #TeamMaryland and raising millions of dollars for incredible charities in the DMV!
House Republicans just passed a $70 BILLION slush fund for ICE and CBP. No reforms. No guardrails. Nothing to lower your costs. That is why I voted no.
As the only Marylander on a defense or national security committee, a key part of my job is working alongside and in constant collaboration with our alliances to support their work on and off base.
I joined the Army Alliance’s annual meeting last week to discuss how we can strengthen our partnership to advance our shared regional and national security goals.
Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) leads our nation in research, testing, and emerging technology – and for nearly three decades, APG’s Army Alliance has been crucial in supporting its mission.
I voted yes on Congresswoman Strickland’s amendment to uphold the work of this Committee and remove the Confederate names of bases — and I’m proud to share that this amendment passed the Committee bipartisanly!
Let me be clear: the renaming of Confederate bases is not about the history we are preserving – it’s about the history we are celebrating.
