I refuse to participate in the brazenly political games of Republican leadership, which is why I decided to take my first present vote in Congress. Here’s my full statement on Republican Amendment #8 to the FY2027 national security appropriations bill:
One of my favorite parts of the job is meeting with our civically engaged young people who continue leaning in and participating in our government – it’s their energy and optimism that give me hope even after the longest days in Washington.
So, we worked with Abigail’s mom to organize a visit so that she and her brother, Isaac, could become the first young constituents to help me cast my vote on the House Floor! While House rules don’t allow photos on the floor, we were able to snag a few right outside!
Remember Abigail? She reached out to our office about a school project – and I thought we could do better than to just give her a call back.
This is not an article by The Onion. But it is an excellent time to remind folks that servicemembers do not have access to IVF treatment.
Giving long overdue recognition to one of the most influential abolitionists and women in Maryland – and our country – should not be a partisan issue. We all have a part to play in ensuring our nation’s history is preserved and remembered for generations to come.
The Trump Administration striking down a 10-year-old plan to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill – all while pushing to plaster President Trump’s face on everything from park passes to a $250 bill – says everything about this Administration’s priorities.
It was extra special to bring them to @hoyer.house.gov’s conference room – where I wrapped up my Hill internship – and pass along some advice I learned from mentors like him.
From working on important legislative initiatives to supporting our neighbors on their hardest days, they have been an invaluable part of our team.
Please join me in thanking our #TeamElfreth Summer 2026 interns! These interns have come in with positive attitudes and stepped up day after day to serve #MD03.
ICE has finally paused non-emergency traffic stops, but there is far more work ahead here in Congress and in our communities to bring justice to the families and the American people.
The Trump Administration and Republicans who have enabled and funded this out-of-control agency must answer for these atrocities.
These are just two of the latest individuals who have lost their lives to the weaponization of ICE. We need a swift and independent investigation. We need full accountability. We need real checks and balances.
His son has described him as a quiet, family man who left for work at sunrise and loved to pet his dog and sit on his porch.
ICE agents have shot and killed two men on their way to work in less than a week. Joan Sebastian Guerrero, 26, was a young father and husband in Biddeford, Maine. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, was a Houston father of three.
That’s why I’ve joined @sarajacobs.house.gov and over 50 of my colleagues in demanding that USCIS expedite the DACA renewal process. As always, if my office can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to a member of Team Elfreth at (410) 832-8890.
Our immigration system has been broken for decades, but for the last 14 years, DACA has allowed Dreamers to live in the only home they’ve ever known. However, we’ve recently heard from constituents that extreme processing delays are jeopardizing their lives – impacting 54,000+ Dreamers nationwide.
As the President spends taxpayer dollars on endless war in the Middle East and his billion-dollar ballroom, that doesn’t mean Congress isn’t working to lower your costs.
The median age of first-time buyers is now at a record high of 40, but this bill would limit corporations from buying up homes and pricing out hardworking families – putting the American Dream back in reach.
