Ever wonder what my week looks like as your Congresswoman? Here are the highlights from a week in Washington:
🤝 Spoke with civically engaged students – from our summer interns, to Senator Zucker’s fellows, and interns across the House & Senate at the @houseadmdems.bsky.social Intern Lecture Series
We even spoke with his Congressman, Rep. Andy Harris.
That’s why after reading about his experience as Student Member of the Board for Harford County, I invited Trae to shadow me for a day in Congress to discuss his insights from serving the board and share some advice as he continues his journey in public service.
As a former student member of the University System of Maryland Board of Regents, I know firsthand the importance of uplifting student voices, especially in decisions about their education.
I’ve already voted NO twice on the SAVE Act, and I’m a proud co-sponsor of the Restore Trust In Government Act to actually ban insider trading for the President, Vice President, Members of Congress and their families.
Their Stop Insider Trading Act would actually allow members of Congress to CONTINUE owning and buying stock, & it does nothing to hold the President accountable. To make a bad bill worse, they also attached provisions from the SAVE America Act, which would disenfranchise millions of American women.
Let’s be clear: House Republicans’ key legislation this week would not take any meaningful action to prevent election fraud or ban stock trading by elected officials.
Despite the many advancements we secured in this legislation, I cannot ignore the larger context of this bill and this moment – particularly as the President wages an unsustainable and irresponsible war in Iran. See above for my full statement on why I voted no.
As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I have a great appreciation for the tireless bipartisan effort that goes into crafting the National Defense Authorization Act.
Today, their third budget hands President Trump and Secretary Hegseth billions of dollars to continue their unconstitutional, unjustified, unpopular war in Iran.
I voted no.
Budgets are statements of values.
Republicans’ first budget this Congress enacted the largest cut to health care in American history and kicked millions of seniors, veterans, and kids off SNAP.
Their second budget gave ICE another $70 billion blank check.
In this week’s Maryland Minute, I recognized Annapolis’s Poet Laureate, Jefferson Holland. His work beautifully captures the essence of the Bay and Annapolis’s role in our nation’s history – ensuring that our local culture and stories are preserved and passed on for generations to come.
We talked about everything from the fight to protect voting rights to how we’re holding the Trump Administration accountable. It’s young people like these who continue to lean in & participate who give me hope for the future of our great democratic experiment, even on challenging days in Washington.
We had some special guests visit the Capitol this week! Alongside @repjohnnyo.bsky.social, I was thrilled to welcome my good friend Senator Zucker’s summer fellows to Washington.
From mental health support, employment programs, family reunification services, and so much more, this funding will ensure that all members of our community have the support they need even on their hardest days.
Another win for #MD03: as part of the over $6 million in federal funding #TeamMaryland secured for Annapolis, more than $1 million went to the Anne Arundel County Community Action Agency to support crucial re-entry and rehabilitation services.
Even as this Administration continues to undermine the expertise of our scientists, I will continue working with my colleagues – Democrat and Republican alike – to ensure Bay restoration is properly authorized and funded. Stay tuned as the bill heads to the floor!
Good news: the Chesapeake Bay WATERS Act to reauthorize key programs at the NOAA Bay Office secured unanimous passage out of the Natural Resources Committee! Located in Annapolis, the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office does critical work to advance the health of the Bay for generations to come.
In today’s edition of Sarah Explains It All, I’ll be breaking down what the Equal Rights Amendment is and why we still need it today!
