This is a critical step forward in our nation’s support for our democratic ally and the security of Europe.
Big News: At the House Armed Services Committee hearing, I used my time to ensure Secretary Hegseth committed to finally releasing the $400 million for Ukraine that Congress bipartisanly authorized.
Today, I voted no on the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. See below for my full statement:
I will continue to vote for War Powers Resolutions to cease hostilities in Iran because the American people deserve a government that does not raise their costs or drag our nation into endless war in the Middle East.
Since the start of President Trump’s war in Iran, Marylanders have already spent a collective $270 million more on gas than they did prior to the war. It’s clear that the President entered this war without any plan or consideration of the cost for our servicemembers and families back home.
This is all the more reason that Congress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to end voter disenfranchisement and ensure that free and fair elections remain the law of the land. For the generations of Americans who fought for these rights for all of our neighbors, we cannot go back.
Justice Kagan wrote in the dissent that states can now “systematically dilute minority citizens' voting power” without legal consequence.
Today’s Supreme Court ruling attacks our fundamental rights as Americans & erodes one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation in our history. For over 60 years, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act has protected the voices of communities of color after years of racist gerrymandering.
I plan to focus my five minutes of questions on tangibly improving the lives of our servicemembers and reversing the damage caused to our global alliances by this Administration. Tune in:
Today, Secretary Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine are coming before the House Armed Services Committee. There are a whole host of questions that I could ask on your behalf – from the ongoing war in Iran, boat strikes in the Caribbean and East Pacific, and Signalgate.
President Trump promised that ICE would only go after the worst of the worst, yet time and time again, his Administration continues targeting our most vulnerable neighbors. Congress must step up to put an end to the weaponization of ICE in our communities.
Two years ago, Zoila Guerra Sandoval lost her partner in the Key Bridge collapse, and now she’s facing deportation after living in Maryland for more than two decades – putting her five-year-old at risk of losing both her parents.
#TeamElfreth even brought some royal spirit to the office in honor of the occasion! I’m also grateful to have been joined by my longtime friend and colleague, Howard County Councilwoman Christiana Rigby, in the chamber this afternoon.
In fact, as the King shared, it was Magna Carta that originally established the principle that “executive power is subject to checks and balances.” In this moment of emerging and ever-changing global challenges, the US-UK partnership is all the more indispensable.
From environmental conservation to the religious freedoms and checks and balances our country was founded upon, his speech was an excellent reminder of our shared values.
In 1693, my family left England and came to the United States in search of religious freedom and - like so many others - opportunity. Today, it was an incredible honor to be in the chamber as Congress welcomed King Charles III in celebration of our nation’s 250th anniversary of independence.
This team picked up trash, planted seasonal flora, and even added oyster shells to the dirt to help prevent erosion from floods at Davis Park. Thank you, Eastport!
Communities across the country marked Earth Day with cleanups – & I thought it only fitting after a long week in Washington to bring Carlson’s donuts Saturday morning to thank neighbors who are doing their part! 🍩🌳 I kicked off my weekend in Eastport at the 34th annual GreenScape Annapolis clean-up.
Today, take some time to celebrate the rich culture, history, people, and places that make the Old Line State special – including the fact that #MD03 is home to the oldest State Capitol building to remain in use and the only State House to have served as the US Capitol!
