With so many neighbors struggling to put food on the table throughout this shutdown and with the upcoming holiday season, I’m so grateful I could be at the grand re-opening to celebrate another resource to help our neighbors on their hardest days.

Exciting news: Columbia’s own Celebration Church just re-opened its free grocery store! Since 1973, the Celebration Church has been a pillar of the Columbia community and beyond – helping our neighbors through their steadfast dedication to public service.
Thank you for organizing an incredible Veterans Day Ceremony and your dedication to honoring our veterans and their family members for nearly five decades.
Located right here in Crownsville, the Maryland Veterans Cemetery has interred more than 28,000 Maryland veterans and their dependents who lost their lives – many in service to our country.
Throughout this month, my team has been collecting stories from veterans here in the Third District for the Library of Congress’ Veterans History Project. Thank you to the nearly 20 veterans who were willing to share your stories and for your dedication to serving our country.
Our District is home to more than 50,000 veterans, and as the daughter and granddaughter of veterans, I know how important their service is to their families and our nation as a whole.
From honoring our veterans at the Howard County Veterans Day Parade to introducing bipartisan legislation to evaluate and pave the way for emerging therapy options for veterans living with the effects of PTSD – I’m committed to fighting for those who fought for our country here in Congress.
🇺🇲 Each year on Veterans Day, we recognize and honor the countless sacrifices made by the brave men and women who defended the country we love and call home. Our veterans have selflessly sacrificed for our country – the least we can do is honor their service not just with our words, but with action.
My position throughout this shutdown has always been that we can and must reach a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government, protect our federal workforce, and protect the health care of millions of Americans. The Senate deal doesn’t do that. Read my full statement above.
Our federal workers, military, families who rely on SNAP, and government contractors have borne the brunt of this government shutdown. I am grateful for their service and for all the ways that our community has come together and stepped up to protect our most vulnerable neighbors.
U.S. Marine Corps’ 250th birthday means a time to honor our Marines whose determination, bravery, & innovation have been crucial to defending & serving our country throughout history. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am proud to represent and honor our Marines on Capitol Hill.
It’s never too early to learn how to get involved, and I’m so glad I could be a part of their journey to becoming the next generation of leaders!
Huge thanks to the Cub Scout Troop 366 for inviting me and Delegate Dylan Behler to be part of your Citizenship Adventure! 🇺🇸We had a blast talking about our work in the General Assembly and in Congress – but most importantly, the value of civic engagement.
Happy Native American Heritage Month! This month and every month, we recognize the rich heritage and traditions of indigenous peoples and honor the tribal nations – like the Piscataway Conoy Tribe – that have shaped #MD03’s past and present.
In today’s segment of Sarah Explains It All, I’m breaking down what SNAP is, who relies on it, and why fully funding this program is so essential to supporting our most vulnerable communities.
SNAP isn’t just a program – it’s a statement of our values and our commitment to our neighbors in need. 680,000 Marylanders and more than 40 million Americans across the country rely on SNAP to put food on the table.
You can apply for our general internships in both our D.C. and Columbia offices or our press internship in our D.C. office. Applications are due this Monday, November 10th at midnight – Apply today: elfreth.house.gov/services/internships
Our interns are a crucial part of our office — answering phones, helping with casework requests, and supporting legislative work for hundreds of constituents. While interns can’t work during this government shutdown, we are beginning to hire for our spring internship program!
No matter the outcome, one thing is clear: the American people want a government that lowers costs and addresses the affordability crisis that families across this country are facing.
President Trump promised to lower costs day one, but his reckless economic policies have done the opposite – driving up costs everywhere from the grocery store to the pharmacy. Now, the Supreme Court is taking up oral arguments on President Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs.
