A fighter for civil rights and justice, Reverend Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to giving voice to the voiceless. In the aftermath of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination, rather than stepping back, Rev. Jackson continued his fierce activism on the ground and in politics for decades to come.

That’s why on this State of the Economy Day of Action, I wanted to highlight some real, commonsense solutions that House Democrats have put forward to help combat the rising costs that far too many of our neighbors are facing.
Seeing higher prices at the grocery store, on your energy bills, and at the pharmacy? You’re not alone.
Happy Lunar New Year! The Year of the Fire Horse symbolizes change, opportunity, and growth in the year ahead. To all those in #MD03 and beyond who celebrate, I hope you have a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!
Community colleges are often a crucial first step into higher education for many students. Supporting their success means supporting our future.
Including Anne Arundel Community College and Howard Community College, to brainstorm ways to expand workforce and cyber training opportunities, improve financial transparency for students, and increase access to Pell Grants.
@vanhollen.senate.gov, @hoyer.house.gov, @repaprildelaney.bsky.social, @repjohnnyo.bsky.social, and I met with the Executive and Legislative Directors of MACC, Dr. Brad Phillips and Drew Jabin, along with representatives of our community colleges.
Since 1992, the Maryland Association of Community Colleges (MACC) has served as a unified voice advocating for Maryland’s 16 community colleges and supports the educational needs of over 100,000 students across the state.
This Presidents’ Day, I’m reminded of the words of Theodore Roosevelt – our nation’s 26th President, a father of conservation, and certainly on my shortlist of favorite presidents.
Protecting the rights of our students and educators in these uncertain times is crucial, and I’m grateful for the leadership of NEA and teachers across Maryland as they fight to keep students safe in their school communities.
I met with the NEA Directors, Dr. Michelle Alexander, Sunta Harris, Chad Wilson, and Vice President of the Maryland State Education Association, Nikki Woodward, to strategize ways to combat these challenges and more.
Over the past year, we’ve seen unprecedented attacks on public education by the Trump Administration – from gutting the Office of Civil Rights to changing the definition of professional degrees, and now we’re seeing ICE agents detain children on their way to and from school.
One of the highlights of my work is meeting civically engaged young people and sharing all the ways Congress can work for them, from service academy nominations to tackling student loans. Go Cavaliers!
Our Cavaliers took on the Capitol this week! I had the honor of welcoming nearly 300 government students from Archbishop Spalding High School to our nation’s Capitol – including many from all across #MD03!
NATO is one of our most crucial and longstanding alliances, and I’m committed to working in Congress to not only reaffirm our commitment to this partnership but strengthen it for years to come.
We discussed strategies to bolster Arctic security, co-production arrangements for our mutual defense, and even opportunities for Swedish students in the U.S. Naval Academy’s international student program.
After my bipartisan House Armed Services trip to Sweden and Finland, I continued the conversation by sitting down with Swedish Parliamentarian Gulan Avci.

Calling all #MD03 high schoolers! The 2026 Congressional Art Competition is now open! 🎨 Every year, tens of thousands of talented artists submit pieces, and the winners have their work displayed in the halls of the Capitol.
As a proud member of the Labor Caucus and the daughter of a union household, I will continue working closely with our local unions to fight for the rights of all our hardworking neighbors.
