I’m so grateful that I could join Rabbi Axler and more than 500 members of our community for their annual Rosh Hashanah in Our Park service to celebrate the high holiday, reflect on the past year, and commit to fighting to better our community and our country. L’shanah tova!

Since 1970, the Temple Isaiah has been a pillar of the Jewish community and beyond in Howard County, providing a space for learning, civic engagement, and spirituality.
My heart breaks for Dallas, and my prayers are with the victims, their families, and all those affected. Congress must act to unify our country and ensure all of our communities can be free from the fear of gun violence.
As a member of the @laborcaucus.house.gov, I’m committed to fighting for the rights of our home care workers who support our neighbors on their hardest days.
Home care workers are fiercely dedicated to providing high-quality – often lifesaving – care to our loved ones and neighbors. I’ve heard from members of our community, like Michelle, & I fully agree that they do not deserve to be stripped of their basic protections and pay by this Administration.
While passing this bill won’t solve every problem in Washington, it will send a powerful message: your representatives work for you, and you alone. It’s time we prove it.
That’s why I’ve co-sponsored @magaziner.house.gov and Congressman Chip Roy’s bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act to ban Members of Congress and their families from owning and profiting off of individual stocks.
I came to Congress to lower costs for our families, create jobs, ensure every Marylander has access to health care, and support strong small businesses – not pad my own financial portfolio.
Thank you to the Anne Arundel County Public Library team, trustees, & Foundation Board for organizing the incredible ‘For the Love of the Library’ event! I’m so grateful I could join 400 fellow library lovers to continue supporting the amazing work of our public libraries to educate & inspire 📖
Happy Jewish New Year! Rosh Hashanah symbolizes a time for self-reflection and renewal from the year past, as well as a moment of hope for the year ahead. For all those who celebrate, I hope this is the start of a sweet and fruitful new year. Shana Tovah!
But we must keep communicating, keep coming together and having tough conversations – especially as Members of Congress – to turn the page and overcome these difficult times.
As we navigate these uncertain and sometimes even dark times, we have to focus on what’s giving us hope for our future. Leaning in & participating is making a difference – whether that’s attending a town hall or fighting to open doors to agencies – seeing how you all contribute gives me hope.
That’s why I’ve joined @hoyer.house.gov, @vanhollen.senate.gov & 21 other bipartisan lawmakers in calling for a new Chesapeake Bay agreement that will combat pollution, protect our native fish & wildlife, improve water quality, & more to ensure a healthy Bay for generations to come.
But the current Chesapeake Bay agreement – signed in 2014 – has a deadline of December 2025 for many of its goals and initiatives.
Since 1983, the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership has convened states across the Watershed to shape voluntary policy agreements which guide state and regional action to restore the health of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed with clear goals and measurable outcomes.
I joined @repkiggans in demanding the secretaries of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force address these staffing gaps for emergency services that keep our servicemembers safe and maintain our overall military readiness.
Yet recent reports indicate that the military service plans to eliminate vacant firefighter positions, limit the use of overtime, and interpret requirements in a manner that could lead to station closures.
More than 8,800 civilian firefighters support our servicemembers at military installations across the DoD, responding to structural fires, aircraft emergencies, hazardous materials incidents, and more.
That’s why I’ve co-sponsored @delauro.house.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social’s FAMILY Act to ensure every worker has access to comprehensive paid family and medical leave our workforce has earned and deserves.
Currently, nearly 73% of American workers do not have access to paid leave even in cases of serious personal health issues, safety concerns, or when dealing with military deployment. Hardworking Americans should not be forced to choose between their family, health, or safety & their jobs.
