To my staff, colleagues, loved ones, the people of Maryland's Fifth District, and all who helped me along the way – thank you. For the rest of this Congress, I'll continue my work to ensure the People's House reflects the will of the American people & serves as the guardian of liberty & democracy.
On January 6th, 2021, we saw the floodgates of insurrection open. If we gloss over history or glorify the actions of the violent mob, we risk its repeated actions. We cannot afford to turn our backs on that inexplicable day of sedition and treason that Trump shamefully encouraged five years ago.
Denmark has moved in lockstep with the U.S. in Greenland to deter authoritarian regimes in the region for decades. As co-chairs of the Congressional Friends of Denmark Caucus, Rep. Blake Moore and I condemn the continued threats to annex Greenland that would undermine our cooperation for no gain.
Happy New Year, #MD05! Today we celebrate new beginnings and the potential of the year ahead. I wish you and your families many blessings and prosperity in 2026.
As we mark the end of one year and prepare for the beginning of a new one, I am grateful for the privilege to serve you, my constituents, again in 2026. I look forward to continuing the work of providing assistance and critical resources for Marylanders in #MD05 and beyond.
Wishing all who celebrate in #MD05 and beyond a Merry Christmas! I hope this holiday is filled with joy, warmth, and comfort as you spend these special moments with your neighbors and loved ones.
It doesn't matter how many concessions given to Putin - he will keep fighting this war so long as he thinks he can outlast the free world. Now is not the time to fold. I urge my Republican colleagues to sign our discharge petition to support the courageous people of Ukraine & liberty over tyranny.
Every candle lit by Jews around the world on each night of Hanukkah is a reminder that the Jewish light will continue to burn bright in the darkest moments. Tonight, I lit these candles to symbolize my commitment to the Jewish community and removing antisemitism from our world. #LightforAustralia
The MD Delegation & I are proud to announce over $6.9 million to support firefighters & first responders across Maryland. We can always count on these heroes in the face of danger or during an emergency, and this federal funding will equip them with new resources to support their life-saving work.
The feeble health care bill House Republicans passed today would do little to fix the gaping hole they've left in America's health care system by refusing to extend cost saving ACA tax credits. With this bill, House Republicans have once again told the American people, 'You're on your own.'
Del. Jazz Lewis has made a significant impact during his tenure in the General Assembly. It's been an honor to work with Jazz over the years. I'm proud of the extraordinary work he's done for Maryland, and he'll continue to excel in his new position as UMD's Director of State Government Relations.
Last month's 'peace' plan to end the war in Ukraine was a Russian menu. We cannot build peace on a promise from Putin. I urge my Republican colleagues to join the push to vote on the Ukraine Support Act, which would undermine Russia's war machine & give Ukraine the support needed to win this fight.
Congratulations to Delegate Joseline Peña-Melnyk on being elected as the next Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates. Passionate and collaborative, I know Joseline's leadership will be transformational at this critical moment for our state. I look forward to our continued partnership.
