But whether it’s ordering blue catfish or participating in a community clean-up, we all can do our part to protect the Bay!

Happy #SaveTheBayDay! As Vice Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Committee, I work every day to protect and expand access to our natural treasures – including the Chesapeake Bay – for generations to come!
As we celebrate their many contributions, we must also continue to lean in and work together to combat discrimination in all forms and uplift the diverse voices that make our nation special.
Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Every May, we honor and celebrate the rich history and vibrant culture of our AANHPI communities.
In Congress, I will continue to fight for our endangered species and our planet every chance I get.
This week, I saw AZA’s work up close, reconnected with some old friends from the @nationalaquarium.bsky.social, Maryland Zoo, and celebrated the amazing work of our incredible zoos and aquariums across the country.
Meet Pacific 🦎 Protecting rare lizards like Pacific is just a small part of the crucial work the Association of Zoos and Aquariums does — leading on a variety of animal welfare, conservation, and education initiatives.
If not for our brave workers, we wouldn’t have child labor laws, sick leave, or even weekends. As the daughter of a union household and a member of the @laborcaucus.house.gov, I’m proud to not only honor their legacy today but continue the fight for the rights of working Americans every day.
Today, on International Workers' Day, we recognize the contribution of our union workers and the progress that has been made thanks to decades of labor organizing. May 1st marks the culmination of the years-long fight for the eight-hour workday.
My team brought the spirit of Annapolis to Washington this year by making our own May Day basket with flowers representing each county in #MD03. If you’re in Annapolis, make sure you take a moment to check out the lovely baskets.
Happy May Day! 💐 Every year on May 1st, homes and businesses around Annapolis are decorated with floral arrangements to usher in the celebration of spring. This tradition started back in the 1950s and has grown citywide and is still going strong 70 years later.
We have two forums coming up – May 5th in Howard County and May 21st in Anne Arundel County – so make sure to RSVP at the links below:

We’re less than one week away from our first Service Academy Nomination Forum! If you or any young person you know is interested in serving our nation, check out one of our events where I’ll be joined by representatives from our military academies and a panel of experts to answer all your questions.
It is clear that the President didn't account for the closure of the Strait, the reverberating impacts on global markets, or gas prices skyrocketing – let alone coordinate with our NATO allies.
Amidst this Administration’s threats against our NATO allies, I questioned the Secretary and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on the specific requests the United States has made to our NATO allies and European partners to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bring an end to this unsustainable war.
I didn’t come to Congress to bicker with Cabinet secretaries - I came to get answers and deliver for my District.
The Senate and House Democrats had a solution weeks ago that would have funded these agencies without giving another penny to ICE. Today’s vote was long overdue, and I’m grateful the hardworking men and women who keep our country safe will get the pay they deserve.
After 76 days of keeping the Department of Homeland Security closed, House Republicans just reopened it without even holding a recorded vote. This shutdown risked our national security, played politics with the lives of our civil servants, & halted critical work at FEMA, TSA, & the Coast Guard.
It’s my privilege to serve on the Shock Trauma Board and help bring federal resources to this critical work. A special thank you and congratulations to the entire team for your tireless efforts to help patients and Maryland families on their hardest days.
This Saturday, for the 35th year, more than 700 neighbors came together to honor our outstanding health care workers, trauma professionals, and first responders – including 51 workers who saved the life of sixteen-year-old innocent bystander, Chase Lancaster, after he was critically injured.
