This win is also critical because folks the President attempted in his first term to completely zero-out the Bay Program’s budget. Hard work and persistent advocacy by folks within the Bay watershed have paid off!

The investments we make today – in combating pollution, preserving water quality, and protecting against invasive species – will ensure that future generations can enjoy the Bay for many years to come.
Good news for the Bay: The House has passed $93 million in Chesapeake Bay Program funding and millions more in funding for other critical federal programs that support the health of the Chesapeake Bay!

This week, the House passed $10 million for #MD03! But, how does that money reach our District, and what does it fund? That’s today’s topic of Sarah Explains It All.
I sat down with the new Bay Program Director Dan Coogan & Regional Administrator Amy Van Blarcom-Lackey to discuss the Beyond 2025 Bay Agreement, strategies to combat invasive species like the blue catfish, & ways we can work together to support the health & habitat of the Bay across the watershed.
For the past 43 years, the EPA and the Chesapeake Bay Program Office have been crucial partners in upholding the Chesapeake Bay Agreement to ensure the conservation, restoration, and protection of one of our community’s most vital resources.
We’re just a few days away from our first town hall of 2026 happening Monday, January 12th at 7:30 PM. You can dial in by calling 833-380-0677 or sign up to listen in at the link below. Talk to you soon!

I look forward to continuing to work closely with Major Birckhead to support Maryland’s National Guard.
This week, @repjohnnyo.bsky.social & I sat down with Major General Birckhead & her team to discuss the priorities of the Maryland National Guard going into 2026 – including their transition to an expanded cyber mission, personnel retention & funding, & new systems to improve emergency response.
Since 1634, the Maryland National Guard has played a crucial role in serving our state, defending our country, and advancing our national security objectives – serving a critical function in World War II and other major conflicts and employing more than 7,000 personnel today.
This is a real movement towards advancing solutions to address the health care and affordability crises too many of our neighbors are facing.
Great news: after months and months of House Democrats fighting to extend the ACA tax credits through every means possible, a few House Republicans have joined us, and we have finally voted to extend these crucial tax credits. Now, the bill heads to the Senate!
While today’s legislation is not perfect, this more than $10 million federal investment aimed at making our communities safer, protecting our natural resources, and providing resources to our most vulnerable is crucial for our shared future.
Exciting news: after months of negotiation, Congress passed a critical government funding legislation that includes major investments in #MD03! I came to Congress to deliver for our neighbors – many who have felt left behind by Washington for far too long.
Our nation will not forget even our darkest moments – we will take the lessons from that day and ensure the values of a free and fair democracy are protected for generations to come.
We remember the sacrifice & strength of the Capitol Police & other law enforcement officers, including Officer Brian Sicknick, who lost his life after being assaulted by rioters, & Officers Howard Liebengood, Jeffrey Smith, Gunther Hashida, & Kyle DeFreytag, who died by suicide after the attack.
For the five year anniversary of January 6th, I joined my colleagues for a moment of reflection to honor those who bravely defended our Capitol, our Constitution, and our democracy.
As we continue to grapple with acts of political violence as a country, Congress has a responsibility to pass commonsense gun regulations and put an end to preventable tragedies like these.
Rather than stepping down, Giffords has remained dedicated to public service as one of the most influential voices in the fight to end gun violence today.
