In Congress, I’ll always keep fighting for our Bay, our maritime history, and to keep the light shining for another 150 years. As George Bernard Shaw said, “I can think of no other edifice constructed by man as altruistic as a lighthouse. They were built only to serve.”

During my time in the Maryland Senate, I worked alongside the keepers of the light, the supporters of the lighthouse, to secure crucial funding to upgrade the substructures and support their hard work in maintenance.
Today is National Lighthouse Day! Did you know that the Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse – which has guided mariners for over 150 years – is the only original screw pile lighthouse in the Bay still afloat and alight?
These brave men and women have made sacrifices most of us can only imagine making for our country. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am proud to represent and honor them and all our active duty servicemembers and veterans today and every day.
Today is Purple Heart Day, a time to honor our servicemembers for their bravery in service of our country. The Purple Heart is one of the oldest awards in the military – recognizing those who were wounded or killed in action fighting for our nation and its fundamental values.
Whether it's supporting legislation like the SHIPS for America Act or working directly with our partners at Coast Guard Yard to create new jobs from historic federal investment, I’m proud to stand up for our critical maritime industries so we can be a nation capable of doing big things again.
That’s why at the Masters, Mates & Pilots (Bridgedeck) Conference – hosted right here in Linthicum – I spoke about the importance of reinvesting in our shipbuilding and maritime industries for our national security and diverse economy.
From the Coast Guard Yard in #MD03 to the Baltimore Clipper to the production of 384 Liberty ships during World War II, Maryland’s rich maritime history is both storied and bound for a comeback.
I’m a proud co-sponsor of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to put an end to voter disenfranchisement, but today is also a reminder that we can all do our part to lean in, participate, and protect the rights that generations of Americans fought, bled, and died for.
As the Supreme Court systematically dismantles this crucial act and as President Trump continues to sow distrust in our elections, it’s now even more important to stand up for our fundamental voting rights.
This act is widely considered the single most important piece of legislation protecting the right to vote and upholding the very values that this great experiment of self-governance was founded on 250 years ago.
61 years ago today, President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law, prohibiting discrimination in voting practices on the basis of race.
These draconian cuts have had real consequences in Third District— from cancelling funding for researchers and businesses leading the way in energy efficiency to weakening the electric grid that all of us rely on.
Call me crazy, but I don’t want a Democratic president exercising political retribution against Republican-leaning states. The presidency is greater than your political party. It’s shameful the Trump Administration cares more about exacting political retribution than lowering your energy costs.
Whether it's in Congress championing legislation to improve training opportunities for our first responders or on the ground with our neighbors, I’m proud to support our first responders and their work in the line of duty.
Annapolis’s National Night Out celebration did not disappoint! After recognizing our Howard County first responders, my mom and I made our way to the Busch Library for one of Annapolis’s many National Night Out Celebrations to recognize the vital partnership between first responders & our community.
Tomorrow #TeamElfreth is hosting our Know Your Rights Virtual Seminar! If you’re interested in learning about all the rights and resources available to our neighbors, be sure to RSVP at the link below to join us TOMORROW, August 6th at 6:00 PM.
Yesterday, I kicked off my National Night Out celebrations with Howard County Executive Calvin Ball and our neighbors in Columbia to recognize the selfless work of all of our first responders. Their incredible work and selfless sacrifices make our communities safer and stronger every day.
For our first responders, serving our neighbors in need is not just a job – it’s a life that comes with sacrifice, late nights, overtime, and putting oneself in harm’s way for the safety of our neighbors.
