Federal workers have continued to show up for the past 37 days of this government shutdown without a paycheck. But Speaker Johnson has cancelled votes for the past six weeks, which means the House has only been in Washington 12 of the last 100 days. That is nothing short of shameful.

We are officially in the longest full government shutdown in our nation’s history, yet the House has only been in session 12 of the past 100 days. There’s no way to address these crucial issues when we’re currently scattered across the country – the time for Congress to come together & act is now.
Ahead of last week’s critical deadline for SNAP funding, I sat down with Tom Hall on WYPR to discuss the importance of fully funding SNAP, solving our country’s looming health care crisis, and legislation I’m working on in Congress to support our crucial civil servants during these uncertain times.
Their work has resulted in more than 120 pieces of legislation passing over the last three decades – a true testament to the power of state work. In this moment, these conversations and their participation is all the more crucial as we continue to lean in and fight for our communities.
Thank you to the Maryland Legislative Agenda for Women (MLAW) team for inviting me to deliver the keynote address at the 2025 Fall Legislative Agenda Conference! For the past 31 years, MLAW has been leading the fight for legislation promoting the well-being of women and families across Maryland.
We’re back with another town hall! You can join me and fellow freshman @repjohnnyo.bsky.social Monday, December 1st at 7:30 PM for a virtual town hall. You can RSVP and submit your questions at the link below:

Please continue to lean in, speak up, and lend a hand in helping our most vulnerable neighbors.
The highlight of my job is hearing directly from you – whether that’s at a Town Hall, at the grocery store, or even at Dunkin 🍩 Thank you, Ronnie and Jordan, for saying hi, and thank you to all our neighbors who came out to Howard County Executive Ball’s countywide food drive.
These are just a few of the many reasons we need Speaker Johnson to call us back to Washington and reopen the government. Thank you to the American Legion Post #7 for hosting, and stay tuned for our work ahead!
During the government shutdown, it was especially important to hear from our veterans, as nearly 1 in 3 federal employees are also military veterans AND disability applications and GI processing have been delayed.
There are more than 50,000 veterans who call #MD03 home, all who selflessly served our country. Ahead of Veterans Day, we reconvened our Veterans Advisory Council to discuss how we can provide the highest quality of care for our veterans, including alternative treatments.
Annapolis residents: today is election day! The right to vote is one of our most sacred and fundamental rights. From 7 am - 8 pm today, please make your voice heard! You can find your polling place at the link below! 🗳️

In today’s edition of Sarah Explain It All, I’m breaking down who our civil servants are, why they’re so crucial to our country, and what must be done to protect them during this shutdown.
There are more than 2.9 million federal workers across our country – including 45,000 civil servants in #MD03 alone – who are all being acutely and disproportionately impacted by this shutdown, but who have also been under constant assault by this Administration.
Our civil servants provide lifesaving services to the American people – the least we can do is take something off their plate so they can continue to make ends meet.
@Sen_alsobrooks and I introduced the Shutdown Student Loans for Feds Act to pause student loan payments for all federal workers – including furloughed employees, contractors, and our troops.
Throughout this shutdown and beyond, I’ll continue to champion health care access for all of our neighbors.
I’m so grateful that @govwesmoore.bsky.social and I could tour their new state-of-the-art facilities, their innovative WalkStrong orthopedic rehabilitation program, and other spaces that provide the highest quality of care to our neighbors.
Exciting news: FutureCare just opened its second facility in Anne Arundel County – located right here in Heritage Harbour! Headquartered in #MD03, FutureCare has been providing comprehensive rehabilitation services and long-term, complex care to Anne Arundel County since 1988.
🗳️ Annapolis, did you know that we are only two days away from Election Day? Our democracy only works when you make your voice heard. Make sure you find your polling place and make a plan to vote before Tuesday, November 4th:
