That’s why I worked alongside Rep. Wittman to introduce the bipartisan MAWS Act to create a new market for blue catfish in the pet food industry and remove them from our waterways – and this bill has already passed the House bipartisanly! Stay tuned as this bill heads to the Senate.
While we can all do our part and order blue catfish when we see it on a menu, as the largest biomass in the Bay today, this is not a problem that we can eat our way out of alone.
One of the greatest threats facing the Chesapeake Bay today, both economically and ecologically, is the invasive blue catfish. These monsters gobble up baby blue crabs, rockfish, and even oysters.
House Democrats will continue to stand against the SAVE Act and all of the President’s voter intimidation tactics to ensure that no matter the outcome, the voice of the American people is heard in November.
President Trump’s actions have shown us exactly where he stands on election integrity. Despite his desperate lies and claims of fraud, over the last 18 months, he has been the one dismantling the very offices that safeguard our elections at the federal level.
Today and every day, we remember all that Congressman Lewis fought for and honor his legacy by continuing to get into Good Trouble.
Six years ago, we lost the legendary Congressman John Lewis. From his speech at the March on Washington to his courageous leadership crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge to his decades of service in Congress, his work has touched countless lives.
He continues to threaten states, demand passage of the SAVE Act to disenfranchise millions of women, and sow doubt and distrust in our free and fair elections because he sees no other path forward. Mr. President, you can’t rig the game just because you’re losing.
Here’s the truth: The President has lost over 60 times in court over his unsubstantiated claims of election fraud.
Tonight, President Donald Trump gave an unhinged speech filled with old grievances, conspiracy theories, and blatant lies around his 2020 loss to President Biden. There was no new information here.
With this funding, our first responders will be able to act faster and more effectively to keep our neighbors safe in any emergency, including weather-related incidents. There are many important local projects that we secured federal funding for in Annapolis and across #MD03, so stay tuned!
The best part of the job is delivering real wins in #MD03. In Annapolis, that looked like delivering over $1 million in federal funding to the Annapolis Police Department for a new Mobile Command Unit with #TeamMaryland.
As Vice Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Committee, I’ll continue fighting for common-sense regulations that protect our critical natural resources and endangered species for generations to come.
The Trump Administration has reversed a decades-long precedent to open the habitats of endangered animals to destructive projects – including real estate development, mining, drilling, and more. We should never put corporate profits above the safety of our most sensitive habitats and animals.
It’s a testament not only to the vision of our Founders but to the generations of Americans, like you, who have lived up to that vision and expanded who could participate in it over time. Read my full reflections here:

Being in “the room where it happened” as a Congresswoman – when I would not have even been allowed in that same room 250 years ago – is a testament to this radical experiment of self-determination.
Two weeks later, I am still reflecting on the experience of standing in Independence Hall 250 years after the Continental Congress officially declared independence from Great Britain.
That’s why I joined #TeamMaryland in urging OMB to rescind this new rule so we can put people above politics and continue efficiently delivering crucial funding to the communities we know best.
But a new rule proposed by the Trump Administration would overhaul the federal grantmaking process to add layers of political red tape, reduce transparency and accountability, and undermine Congress’s authority.
