Today, a U.S. citizen was killed during an ICE operation in Minneapolis. Two weeks ago, two people in Glen Burnie were hospitalized after ICE opened fire. The President and Secretary Noem have weaponized ICE to instill fear, division, and terrorize immigrant communities.

Decades of scientific expertise and research have informed vaccine and public health recommendations to protect the health of our children. I'm grateful to see Maryland continue to lead the way in keeping our communities and our families safe.
Today, I’m back in Washington after Congress’ short break for the holidays. Here’s a quick breakdown of the good, the ugly, and what we are working on.
After hosting over 20 town halls in 2025, I’m excited to announce that we’re back with another telephone town hall to kick off the new year. Please join me next Monday, January 12th, at 7:30 PM for our next telephone town hall. Stay tuned for details to dial in! ☎️
Five years later, we still have a lot of work left to heal our country, but that can only begin by learning the lessons of January 6th, 2021.
It is disgraceful that on his first day back in office, the President pardoned and commuted the sentences of nearly 1,600 individuals connected to the January 6th insurrection – hundreds of whom assaulted law enforcement officers and many of whom have since been charged with new crimes.
On this solemn day, we honor the brave men and women from the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies who defended our democracy and ensured the rightful certification of the 2020 election results.
Today marks the five-year anniversary of January 6th. One of the darkest days in our history, we witnessed our democracy pushed to the brink after the President incited an angry mob to storm our nation’s Capitol.
I’ll always stand up for our federal workforce, and this endorsement is a major step forward in safeguarding the rights of our hard-working federal employees against the chaos of Washington.
Our neighbors in Maryland were acutely and disproportionately impacted by the government shutdown and were hit hard by DOGE’s sledgehammer.
UPDATE: the @laborcaucus.house.gov has officially endorsed the Shutdown Student Loans for Feds Act that @alsobrooks.senate.gov and I introduced to help federal workers make ends meet during government shutdowns!
Tours are one very special part of the job – especially seeing students experience the Capitol for the first time – so if you’re interested in a tour in the new year, please give us a call at (202) 225-4016 or visit elfreth.house.gov/address_authentication?form=/services/tours-and-tickets
From casework requests to tours of the Capitol, my team is here to help you any way we can. This past year, my team and I booked 806 tours in Washington, D.C. for more than 3,800 visitors.
But the fight is not over. Right before the holidays, House Democrats secured a vote to extend the tax credits. I will work with my colleagues to not only reduce health care premiums, but find solutions to solve the health care crisis that too many of our neighbors are facing. Stay tuned for more.
I’ve heard from so many friends & neighbors this holiday season who are shocked by skyrocketing health insurance rates for 2026. Millions of Americans – including 190,000+ Marylanders – are seeing their premiums spike now that Republican leaders in Congress let the crucial ACA tax credits expire.
These programs were government at its best. Because at its core, government has an obligation to ensure the safety of our constituents, protect the common good, and uphold our obligation to those who run towards burning buildings to keep all of us safe.
Amidst DOGE’s cuts, I’ve been outspoken in my support for the Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation Program and the National Cancer Firefighter Registry, which investigate line of duty deaths and track cancer cases: the leading cause of death for our firefighters.
Our firefighters and first responders keep our families safe on their hardest days. Last month, I joined my @laborcaucus.house.gov colleagues to meet with IAFF President Edward Kelly to discuss how we can continue supporting our firefighters here in Maryland and across the country.
The President’s unilateral overnight strikes on Venezuela were reckless, destabilizing, and endangered our servicemembers. See below for my full statement:
I will work with my colleagues on the House Armed Services Committee to get the American people the answers we deserve.
