The signing of the Declaration was just the beginning of the experiment. The inception of the idea. The foundation of the promise that is our American republic.
Here are my thoughts on celebrating our 250th in Philadelphia, our community, and across the nation: elfreth.house.gov/media/press-...

Yesterday I had one of the most profound experiences in 18 months as your Representative in Congress: traveling to Philadelphia with a bipartisan group of colleagues to be in the “room where it happened” 250 years to the day of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Republicans are celebrating the anniversary of their Big Ugly Bill while Americans are struggling to afford health care, housing, groceries, and more. In today’s edition of Sarah Explains It All, I’ll be breaking down what one year of the Big Ugly Law has actually meant for our neighbors.
While there may not be a lot of good news out of Washington, collaborating with our federal, state, and local partners is one way that we can continue to deliver for our neighbors on the issues that matter to them most – from public safety to the health of our Bay.
ICYMI: We announced over $6 million in federal funding to support projects that will directly help our neighbors right here in Annapolis.
As always, if my team and I can be of assistance with any federal agency, you can call (410) 832-8890.
With costs rising across the board, families deserve policies that make education more affordable, not less. For more details on how these changes could impact you, see the link below.

As someone still working to pay off my student loans, this isn’t abstract for me. Under the Big Ugly Law, the Department of Education is rolling out changes that limit access to certain federal loans and Pell Grants - cutting off educational opportunities for those who are not independently wealthy.
Last week, I spoke with over 100 incredible high schoolers from across the nation who joined New Voters, Civic Nation, and the Johns Hopkins University School of Government and Policy to share the importance of making their voices heard and answer their thoughtful questions
🇺🇸 Our nation was founded on the radical idea that we could democratically elect our leaders – but for this great experiment to continue for another 250 years, we need our young people to continue leaning in and voting.
This spring, these students overcame tough competition to become the first team in Severn School history to ever win two national championships in the same season. Congratulations, Admirals!
In this edition of the Maryland Minute, I took to the House floor to celebrate some of our incredible #MD03 high schoolers: the Severn School Sailing Team! ⛵
Happy National Parks and Recreation Month from Ollie and me! Whether it’s introducing legislation to take partisanship out of our parks or fighting cuts to the park service on the House Natural Resources Committee, I’ll continue fighting to protect our public lands for generations to come.
It might only be Tuesday evening, but Republicans have sent us home early because they are fighting to make a bad bill even worse. Here’s what happened:
➡️ Anne Arundel County: www.aacounty.org/cooling-reli...
➡️ Howard County: www.howardcountymd.gov/community-su...
➡️ Carroll County: health.maryland.gov/carroll/Page...
☀️As temperatures soar above 100 degrees here in Maryland, please take the proper precautions to stay cool! Across #MD03, there are free, public cooling centers and other great local resources to help you beat the heat during these warmer days. Take a look:
With this funding, we can deliver tangible results for Maryland families back home and make a real difference in the lives of everyone who calls Annapolis home. Stay tuned for the work ahead!
This work is only possible because of the support and dedication of the entire Maryland Delegation — not just on the federal level — but our state and local partners as well.
Yesterday, #TeamMaryland celebrated a massive victory right here in Annapolis — delivering more than $6 million in federal funding to four incredible agencies to combat invasive species, improve public safety, expand community re-entry and rehabilitation resources, and more!
Just days away from the 250th anniversary of our nation, I am reminded of the work ahead to build a more perfect union for all where everyone – regardless of the color of their skin or country of origin – can participate fully and without fear in our great democratic experiment.
