I've signed on to articles of impeachment against Secretary Noem, and this afternoon, I voted NO once again on funding for ICE. Stay tuned for more.

Today, I joined my House Democratic colleagues in front of ICE headquarters to stand in solidarity with the tens of thousands of peaceful protestors across the country who are demanding an end to the weaponization of ICE in our communities.
Today, I once again voted against funding for ICE that didn’t include any real accountability or reform. I am deeply disappointed that Republicans’ dysfunction has combined DHS funding with this larger package. Please see below for my full statement.
#TeamMaryland requires us to work together at every level of government, and we are committed to showing up and playing our part.
This week, our fantastic District Office Team presented an update on our constituent casework (over 1,380 federal cases closed and counting!), District budget wins, and opportunities for continued federal-state collaboration to the #MD03 staff of the Maryland General Assembly!
One of the perks of representing Annapolis is the proximity to our partners in the State House!
APL Director, Dr. Van Wie, and I sat down for an insightful conversation on all of the ways that we can work together and support their innovation in Congress, including successfully funding their Dragonfly Titan space probe project.
They have played a crucial role in groundbreaking innovations in everything from space exploration to national security to grid security to shipbuilding. Plus, they are excellent community partners, hosting one of our many town halls and #TeamElfreth for all staff meetings!
Next stop on the Cardin Tour: @jhuapl.bsky.social! Fun fact: APL is the nation’s largest University Affiliated Research Center and the largest employer in Howard County!
This year, #MD03’s own Danielle Crankfield was recognized as the 2026 National School Counselor of the Year – making her the first Marylander EVER to receive this honor! She is one of many incredible mentors in our schools – so make sure you take some time & thank the Ms. Crankfield in your life!
🍎This week is National School Counseling Week, a time to recognize and show gratitude for the school counselors across our country who go above and beyond to shape and inspire young minds.
And as always, if my office can be of assistance with an immigration agency, if you or your family have been impacted by the President’s weaponization of ICE, you can always speak to a member of my team at (410) 832-8890. For additional resources, visit the link below:
With increased ICE activity across the country, one of the most frequent questions my office has received is, ‘What can I do?’
One simple, but very important step you can take today is to know your rights.
Justice Marshall, who embodied our nation’s promise of justice and equality, is just one of the many storied and influential Marylanders we celebrate and honor.
Happy Black History Month, #MD03!
“In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.” - Thurgood Marshall
This month, we uplift the voices, stories, and tremendous accomplishments of Black Americans here in Maryland and across the country.
Tours are one very special part of my job – especially seeing young kiddos like Carter experience the Capitol for the first time – so if you’re visiting D.C. and would like to stop by, please give us a call at (202) 225-4016 or visit the link below.

Meet Carter! Last week, my team and I got to give four-year-old Carter from Pasadena his first-ever Capitol tour in between votes. He loved getting to watch everyone on the House Floor from the gallery and seeing the Statue of Freedom! We even heard he told Mom all about the tour when he got home.
A government shutdown is not something I take lightly. I will continue to work with my colleagues towards a resolution that meets the needs of our neighbors and delivers concrete oversight and accountability over the President and Secretary Noem’s weaponization of ICE.
It’s anticipated that Congress will end the shutdown over the coming days. However, with over 45,000 federal employees in #MD03, I know any shutdown creates serious uncertainty and doubt. As a reminder, due to a 2019 law, federal employees are required to receive backpay at the end of a shutdown.
During this partial government shutdown, please know my offices will remain open to serve our constituents. Essential government services like SNAP, WIC, Medicare, Social Security, and VA benefits will also remain operational.
