My statement on MAGA’s bigoted Anti-Muslim Caucus:
Excellent news for the Eighth District! NeighborWorks of America will award $506,000 to Montgomery Housing Partnership. The grant will help house more of our neighbors, create economic opportunity and make our community stronger. Thank you NeighborWorks, thank you MHP!
Ahead of Earth Day, this week's Local Hero is David Blockstein, an ecologist and conservation biologist who leads Worldwide Climate and Justice Education Month. Dr. Blockstein promotes ecological education and action—locally, nationally and globally.
To Sikh Americans in MD-08 and all those celebrating around the world: happy Vaisakhi. May you rejoice during this harvest festival with family and friends.
On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews and millions of others massacred by the Nazis. May the memories of the perished be a blessing and constant spur to us as the world organizes to fight resurgent fascism, antisemitism and hate.
This week's MD-08 Local Heroes are Rolando and Kristofer Sanz, talented MoCo artists, who founded Young Artists of America to cultivate new generations of singers, dancers, musicians and actors. We celebrate their creative dedication to our young people.

To all those celebrating Easter in MD-08 and beyond, wishing you a holiday filled with peace, happiness, joy and springtime renewal!

I’m also introducing the 9-8-8 Connect Act with Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick to help organizations connect individuals experiencing a behavioral or mental health crisis with follow-up services.
I’m introducing the STOP Suicide Act with Rep. Don Bacon to expand stabilization services for people with thoughts of suicide. We’re investing in evidence-based approaches to intervene when people need it most.
THREAD: Today we’re taking urgent action to help millions of Americans who struggle with their mental health: introducing two bipartisan bills to help people in crisis get both the immediate care and the follow-up care they need.
Two years ago today, the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the great city of Baltimore collapsed. We hold dear the memories of the six people who died in this disaster and continue rallying as a state to repair this essential artery for Maryland and the country.
