61 years ago today, President Johnson signed the Social Security Amendments of 1965, establishing Medicare and Medicaid. When these programs were first created, they had overwhelming bipartisan support because lawmakers wanted to provide our most vulnerable neighbors with the care they needed.

Every day, my team and I receive hundreds of phone calls, emails, & letters from constituents about the issues that matter most to them. So, in the first edition of our new Sarah Explains It All series, I’ll be answering your questions! Today’s topic: What is Congress doing to stop insider trading?
Read the full report here: democrats-cha.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
I’ll continue working with my @houseadmdems.bsky.social colleagues to stop this Administration's partisan attacks on the Smithsonian Institution and ensure all our nation’s history – even its darkest moments – are preserved for generations to come.
A single President or Administration should not be able to dictate how the entire history of our nation is told.
Earlier this month, the White House released a report falsely claiming that the National Museum of American History was under “ideological capture” for not depicting our country’s history in a way the Administration sees fit.
Over the last 18 months, we’ve already returned $3.2+ million directly to constituents – ensuring they receive the benefits they deserve! If you think we can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out at (410) 832-8890 or check out the link below for more information on how we can help.
From Medicare & Social Security benefits to immigration issues, #TeamElfreth is here to help our neighbors on their hardest days. One of those neighbors, Juanita from Ellicott City, had trouble getting Medicare coverage ahead of her surgery. Our casework team resolved her issue in a matter of weeks!
As always, if my office can be of assistance with an immigration agency, if you or your family have been impacted by the President’s weaponization of ICE, you can always speak to a member of my team at (410) 832-8890.

That’s why my office is hosting a virtual Know Your Rights Seminar so all our neighbors can learn what resources are available to them. This seminar will be translated into multiple languages. For more details on the seminar and to save your spot, check out the link below.
As President Trump continues his weaponization of ICE against our neighbors, one of the most frequent questions my office has received is, ‘What can I do?’ One simple, but very important step you can take today is to know your rights.
Flag services are just one of the many constituent services our office can provide for our neighbors. If you want to learn more about flags and all the other ways #TeamElfreth can help you, check out the link below or call (410) 832-8890 to speak with a member of our team.
On July 4th, 1976, Jerry had a flag flown over the Capitol to commemorate the 200th anniversary of our nation. And now, 50 years later, our office helped him fly that same flag over the Capitol for the 250th anniversary!
🇺🇲 It’s not every day that you get to be part of a tradition 50 years in the making! My team had the pleasure of meeting Jerry Ketchem – a #MD03 constituent who used to work for the Architect of the Capitol – and his daughter, Patti.
Today, let us remember that we all have a part to play – both members of Congress and everyday Americans – in being the change we want to see in this great democratic experiment.
This legislation would not have been possible without the brave protestors – who took to the Capitol steps and abandoned their mobility aids to show the world the impacts of inaccessibility – and the legislative powerhouses who fought on their behalf like @hoyer.house.gov.
36 years ago today, President Bush signed into law the world’s first comprehensive civil rights legislation for people with disabilities: the Americans With Disabilities Act.
I know Marylanders have big expectations, which is why this is just the beginning – stay tuned for the work ahead!
I came to Congress to deliver tangible results for our neighbors. With 29 town halls and forums, 2,300 constituents helped, and over $20 million secured for #MD03 in just 18 months, #TeamElfreth is doing just that.
I am co-sponsoring the Right to IVF Act to guarantee access to fertility treatments and expand insurance coverage for care. Let’s get it done.
