Last year, nearly 80,000 people in our country lost their lives to drug overdoses. While we have made progress in decreasing Maryland’s overdose rate in recent years, every life lost is one too many.

We cannot allow them to keep attacking our most vulnerable communities. That’s why I’ve joined my colleagues calling on the Supreme Court to stick to legal precedent and uphold years of legislation regulating professional conduct and protecting our youth.
Years of expert study have shown that conversion therapy is ineffective at best and harmful at worst – especially for LGBTQ+ youth. This Administration has already stripped crucial mental health resources for LGBTQ+ youth, like the 988 crisis extension.
- 💬 2 roundtable conversations with leaders from across the District
- 🦀 2 crab feasts for great causes with even better company
And that just scratches the surface of everything we did across Maryland. Stay tuned for more updates from #MD03 and on the Hill!
Here’s what our August work period in the District looked like:
- 🏥 10 site visits from shoe factories to medical centers to the Key Bridge and ICE facilities
- 🎊 5 celebrations, including two ribbon-cutting ceremonies, National Night Out, and Pumphrey Day
Other experts at the CDC have spoken out and it’s our turn to speak out and fight for those who have kept us safe for decades.
The CDC and their expertise on vaccinations specifically has guided us through some of the most difficult times in our history — including a global pandemic. The Trump Administration’s partisan firing of the Director of the CDC shows a blatant disregard for our scientific experts and public health.
Today and every day, we must work towards making our country one that lives up to that dream of brotherhood and acceptance for all.
A. Philip Randolph proposed a march for jobs more than 20 years prior, which finally came together in a truly pivotal moment for civil rights in our nation’s history as Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have A Dream” speech.
62 years ago today, nearly 260,000 people joined the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, gathering to protest the nation’s racial inequities and outline their vision for a more just future. This was a march decades in the making.
We cannot break this crucial promise to those who serve our country, and that’s why I’ve joined @juliabrownley.house.gov and my colleagues in the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social on legislation blocking this harmful attack on reproductive rights for our veterans.
Our veterans selflessly sacrificed for our country with the promise that we would take care of them in return. Now, the Trump Administration has proposed a rule that would reinstate the Department of Veterans Affairs’ near-total ban on abortions, including instances of rape or incest.
Today’s events should be unthinkable, and yet they are all too common for students and families across our nation. Common-sense gun safety regulation must be at the top of Congress’ agenda to ensure no parent or child has to experience a tragedy like this again.
When the children of Annunciation Catholic arrived at school today, they came ready to learn, make friends, and get settled in their classes during their first week back to school. Instead, a gunman opened fire at children sitting in the pews through a church window.
I was so proud to join in the celebrations and commit to continuing to fight for DoD investments as a member of the House Armed Services Committee. Go Mustangs!
As a Purple Star School serving many families who serve at Fort Meade, the DoD funded the majority of the project that represents the best of federal, state, and county collaboration and support.
Happy new school year AND new school, Meade Mustangs! Last week we celebrated this beautiful $124 million renovation — making a world-class Meade High School these students, educators, and families deserve.
I’ve joined @repcasar.bsky.social and over 80 of my colleagues to demand President Trump reverse this partisan firing to ensure expertise continues to be the standard for our nation.
Yet, after their report proved that the Trump Administration’s reckless economic policies are harming the job market, President Trump decided to fire the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Let’s be clear: partisan politics should never come before expertise, especially when it comes to determining statistics that shape our workforce.
