I’m so grateful I could sit down with the Deputy Chief of Engineering and Asset Management at Howard County Department of Public Works and our other local water experts to brainstorm on how we can meet the needs of our communities.

Well-funded and managed drinking, waste, and storm water systems are crucial to ensuring all our neighbors have access to clean, affordable water for years to come.
Improving water infrastructure, lowering the cost of water bills, regulating PFAS, & increasing cybersecurity for our public utilities: these are just some of the topics we discussed in my meeting with the Chesapeake Sections of the American Water Works Association & Water Environment Association!

That’s why today, I voted YES again to pass a War Powers Resolution to bring the President’s war to an end.
It is clear the President and Secretary Hegseth have no strategy – let alone an exit strategy – for their war in Iran. Congress cannot sit on the sidelines as servicemembers are put at risk, gas prices rise, and our nation spends tens of billions on this war.
That's why I voted in favor of @meeks.house.gov’s War Powers Resolution to once again stop the President from taking any further reckless and unconstitutional military action in Iran.
Like many in my generation, I hold grave concerns about our country being dragged into another endless war in the Middle East and even greater concerns about war crimes being threatened by this President.
Our Framers made clear in Article I that Congress holds the sole Constitutional power to declare war. Yet we are nearly 50 days into this war in Iran, & the President has failed to deliver to Congress – or the American people – a clear exit plan, all while continuing to escalate tensions via Tweet.
Let me be clear: I do not take this action lightly – but when it becomes abundantly apparent that our Commander in Chief's reckless and irrational behavior is overstepping Constitutional authority and putting lives at risk, we must act.
I’ve joined @raskin.house.gov’s legislation to establish a bipartisan standing body, and act with the Vice President, to remove the President under the guidelines of the 25th Amendment.
From the President’s unhinged rants on social media and reckless war mongering via Tweet, it is clear that the President is no longer in possession of himself.
These conversations ensure collaboration to best support our servicemembers and military families in #MD03 and beyond.
Ahead of our annual Readiness Subcommittee Vice Service Posture hearing, I sat down with General Gerring, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps, to discuss all things military readiness – from on-base housing quality to improving base resilience to working with local partners on modernization.
It’s time for more sunshine – not less.
As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I have the privilege of sitting in regular classified briefings – where this Administration’s answers were utterly insufficient – but almost no answers have been provided to the American public, our servicemembers, or their families.
Senator Graham and I agree on one thing: the White House needs to explain its exit strategy for the President’s Iran war to both Congress and the American people.
The people of this nation place their faith in their representatives to act with integrity. For survivors of assault and harassment across this country, Congress has a responsibility to ensure sexual misconduct does not go unchecked anywhere – and especially in the halls of power.
The allegations were abhorrent, serious, and beneath the dignity of this office. I’m relieved to see the resignations of both Congressmen Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales, and I commend the women who have come forward to tell their stories and hold this institution accountable.
