But whether it’s ordering blue catfish or utilizing public transit, we all have a role to play in protecting our waterways, watersheds, and other natural resources. We only have one Chesapeake Bay & one planet, which is why I’m committed to doing my part here in Congress. Thanks for doing the same!

➡️ Team Maryland has delivered more than $35 million in federal funding to City Dock Annapolis’s flooding resilience efforts to combat rising tides.
➡️ Alongside @alsobrooks.senate.gov, I introduced the Maryland Whole Watershed Program Federal Partnership Act to build on the Whole Watershed Act I led in the State Senate & improve coordination efforts between the federal, state, & local governments for restoration projects across 5 watersheds.
➡️ Rep. Wittman and I worked to pass the MAWS Act bipartisanly on the House floor, getting us one step closer to removing millions of pounds of invasive blue catfish from the Bay and combating the ecological and economic damage they cause to our waterways.
Even in this divisive and chaotic Congress, we’ve secured some real wins for the Bay and our natural treasures:
As Vice Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Committee, I’ve been laser-focused over the past 16 months on working with anyone and everyone to conserve all of our state’s crown jewels.
Today is Earth Day, a time to celebrate our community's natural treasures and commit to protecting them for generations to come.

If you or a young person you know is interested in serving, check out one of our upcoming forums where I’ll be joined by representatives from our service academies and a panel of experts to answer all of your questions. Hope to see you there!
I’m thrilled to announce that we’re back with our Service Academy Nomination Information Forums! 🪖One of the best parts of serving as your Congresswoman is having the opportunity to nominate outstanding young people to our nation’s incredible military academies – including #MD03’s own Naval Academy.
Maryland Department of Transportation is offering free transit rides in honor of Earth Day, so whether you ride the MARC or take a local bus, you can take advantage of a no-cost trip tomorrow!
Tomorrow is Earth Day, Maryland! We can all play a part in preserving our planet, and one easy way is by taking public transit!
It was lovely to catch up on what’s happening in DC and brainstorm on our shared priorities for the District. Thanks to Mad City Coffee for fueling today’s conversation! Next up: a meeting with our District Office team in Columbia and then driving to DC for votes tonight!
It’s been a challenging 16 months for the country – and it’s been a challenging 16 months to be a freshman member of Congress. That’s why I’m particularly grateful that I have friends & mentors I can call for advice on the hardest days, including former Congressman from MD-03, John Sarbanes.
Dial in #MD03! 📞 Our next telephone town hall is happening TOMORROW Tuesday, April 21st at 6:30 PM. There’s still time to RSVP – check out the link below to save your spot, or you can dial in at 833-380-0677 to be part of the conversation.

Special thanks to our incredible panelists who took the time to share their perspectives on student loan debt, housing, child care, and the many other challenges facing our young constituents.
With the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social and @ffcongress.bsky.social, @bynum.house.gov and I held a roundtable to hear Gen Z’s perspective on the affordability crisis and how Congress can build a future and economy that works for the next generation.
From rising costs to a shrinking job market, Gen Z has often felt the brunt of the decisions coming out of Washington – but that makes their voices even more essential to our policymaking.
As we approach that 60 day deadline, I will be pursuing every means possible to reassert our Congressional authority and put an end to these hostilities – but I need my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to join us and do the same.
