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.
Together, we can make sure every family can have a meal and share thanks this holiday season 🍁
Even before the government shutdown, the winter months can be a difficult time for many of our neighbors. If you’re able to, I encourage you to join me in stopping by the Annapolis Police Department’s Thanksgiving Food Drive from now until Monday, November 17th.
We need to be here in person to address the looming health care crisis and reopen the government. It’s what our constituents elected us to do.
Federal workers have continued to show up for the past 37 days of this government shutdown without a paycheck. But Speaker Johnson has cancelled votes for the past six weeks, which means the House has only been in Washington 12 of the last 100 days. That is nothing short of shameful.
We are officially in the longest full government shutdown in our nation’s history, yet the House has only been in session 12 of the past 100 days. There’s no way to address these crucial issues when we’re currently scattered across the country – the time for Congress to come together & act is now.
Ahead of last week’s critical deadline for SNAP funding, I sat down with Tom Hall on WYPR to discuss the importance of fully funding SNAP, solving our country’s looming health care crisis, and legislation I’m working on in Congress to support our crucial civil servants during these uncertain times.
Their work has resulted in more than 120 pieces of legislation passing over the last three decades – a true testament to the power of state work. In this moment, these conversations and their participation is all the more crucial as we continue to lean in and fight for our communities.
Thank you to the Maryland Legislative Agenda for Women (MLAW) team for inviting me to deliver the keynote address at the 2025 Fall Legislative Agenda Conference! For the past 31 years, MLAW has been leading the fight for legislation promoting the well-being of women and families across Maryland.
We’re back with another town hall! You can join me and fellow freshman @repjohnnyo.bsky.social Monday, December 1st at 7:30 PM for a virtual town hall. You can RSVP and submit your questions at the link below:
www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-to...
Please continue to lean in, speak up, and lend a hand in helping our most vulnerable neighbors.
The highlight of my job is hearing directly from you – whether that’s at a Town Hall, at the grocery store, or even at Dunkin 🍩 Thank you, Ronnie and Jordan, for saying hi, and thank you to all our neighbors who came out to Howard County Executive Ball’s countywide food drive.
These are just a few of the many reasons we need Speaker Johnson to call us back to Washington and reopen the government. Thank you to the American Legion Post #7 for hosting, and stay tuned for our work ahead!
During the government shutdown, it was especially important to hear from our veterans, as nearly 1 in 3 federal employees are also military veterans AND disability applications and GI processing have been delayed.
There are more than 50,000 veterans who call #MD03 home, all who selflessly served our country. Ahead of Veterans Day, we reconvened our Veterans Advisory Council to discuss how we can provide the highest quality of care for our veterans, including alternative treatments.
Annapolis residents: today is election day! The right to vote is one of our most sacred and fundamental rights. From 7 am - 8 pm today, please make your voice heard! You can find your polling place at the link below! 🗳️
