This week, I met with Dr. Jarrell and UMB Provost Roger Ward as the University navigates changes to financial aid under the Big Ugly Law, on top of these drastic NIH cuts.
Last year, I met with University of Maryland Baltimore President Dr. Bruce Jarrell after the University faced nearly $41.1 million in cuts in federal grants by the Trump Administration – severely impacting their work as one of the nation’s leading professional schools & biomedical research programs.
We’ll have representatives from more than 10 agencies – including the Maryland Department of Labor, MD Veterans, BGE, @marylandconnect.bsky.social, and more – all in one place, ready to answer your questions. Be sure to RSVP at the link below!

📆 Mark your calendars: our first #MD03 Constituent Resource Fair is only one week away! If you want to learn about all the services #TeamElfreth and our state and local partners can deliver for you, stop by our fair happening on Thursday, May 28th, at 5:30 PM in Howard County.
On the House Armed Services Committee, I’m working to bring good-paying shipbuilding jobs to #MD03 and deliver tangible benefits for northern Anne Arundel and South Baltimore. Stay tuned for the work ahead.
I joined Senator Bill Ferguson and the Greater Baltimore Committee to discuss how we can invest in our local economy and revive shipbuilding in the United States – starting right here in Maryland.
Since the 1700s, Baltimore has been a hub for American shipbuilding and manufacturing. Today, Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore (which is actually in the 3rd Congressional District!) still serves as the Coast Guard’s sole shipbuilding and major repair facility in the United States.
It’s beyond time we ensure our leaders are working in the interest of the American people – not their financial portfolio.
The President should not be allowed to trade stocks. Members of Congress should not be allowed to trade stocks. Full stop. That’s why I’ve co-sponsored the Restore Trust in Government Act to prohibit elected officials from owning and trading individual stocks.
The Administration owes Congress – and the American people – long-term plans to bring this war to an end and stability to the region.
In this week’s House Armed Services Committee hearing, I used my time to ensure we are conducting oversight of the Trump Administration’s Department of Defense and getting answers on mitigating civilian casualties everywhere, and especially in the midst of this irresponsible war in Iran.
One perk of being close to D.C.: running into constituents – including our youngest constituents – on the Hill! Last week, I met Maya, a @capac.house.gov fellow and #MD03 constituent who is interested in public service, at CAPAC’s AANHPI Heritage Month celebration.
While I never had the privilege of serving alongside the Congressman, his impact and legacy on this institution are undeniable. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
Over his 33 years of service, Congressman Frank worked tirelessly to hold Wall Street accountable, protect hardworking American families and consumers, fight for affordable housing, and so much more.
Congressman Barney Frank was a giant in public service and a beacon of hope for many. In 1987, Congressman Frank broke barriers as the first member of Congress to come out while in office – and throughout his career, he continued to lead the fight for LGBTQ+ equality and representation.
Every day, they support countless Marylanders and their families by providing patients with cutting-edge, integrated cancer treatments, and this conversation on reducing barriers to care was an important follow-up from my tour of their incredible facility last August.
Dr. Firozvi is one of Maryland Oncology’s many incredible cancer specialists who came to Washington to discuss ways we can continue working together to expand patient access to care.
That’s why I’m proud to co-lead the Aquatic Invasive Species Control and Prevention Act with Congressman Walberg to continue thinking bolder and faster about combating the threat of invasive species and protecting our waterways, our economy, and our keystone native species for generations to come.
Whether it’s invasive blue catfish in the Chesapeake Bay, invasive carp in the Great Lakes, or snakehead in North Carolina, it’s clear that no community or district – Democrat and Republican alike – is safe from the threat of invasive species.
