I hope my Republican colleagues will come to the table so we can end the shutdown and the weaponization of ICE in our communities.

I’m committed to doing the work on the ground to hold ICE accountable – from visiting the Baltimore ICE facility to conduct oversight for a third time to helping to stop a detention center from popping up in Howard County.
We are now 70 days into the partial government shutdown, and House Democrats remain united in demanding the same commonsense reforms we have outlined since day one.
As the President continues recklessly attacking and isolating our allies, Congress’s commitment to our partners has never been more important.
This week I sat down with Dr. Bjørn Kunoy, Head of Representation of the Faroe Islands, as a follow up to our meeting at the Danish embassy to discuss opportunities for cooperation on Arctic security and trade.
As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, showing up for our longstanding allies means reinforcing our commitment to all of our global partners – including the small but mighty Faroe Islands 🇫🇴
But the coolest part: getting to introduce Lt. Rott and Christine to Admiral Paparo, Commander, US Indo-Pacific Command!
We discussed a range of topics he and his wife think members of Congress should know to better support our younger servicemembers and military families – everything from uplifting the unique mission of our submariners to expanding resources and opportunities for new parents and spouses.
There’s never a dull moment serving on the House Armed Services Committee: After wrapping our hearing on all things IndoPacific, I met with Lieutenant Junior Grade Alexander Rott, a Severna Park-native and the 2026 Submarine Junior Officer of the Year!
Before the presentation, I spoke with Matthew about what motivated him to create the app and how he can work his way up to advocating for public health policies in Howard County and beyond! Congratulations again, Matthew, you made Centennial High School, Howard County, and the 3rd District proud!
We had a very special visitor in Washington this week: Matthew Yang, #MD03’s winner for the 2025 Congressional App Challenge! As our District’s winner, Matthew had a chance to present his app, CellposeCellCounter, in Washington as part of the Congressional App Challenge showcase.
It was great to welcome some faces – new and old – to the office to ensure we’re delivering for all of the workers who call Maryland home.
This week, I sat down with the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades and Pipefitters to discuss the ways Congress can support registered apprenticeships, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, project labor agreements, and expand opportunities for our workforce.
As a proud member of the @laborcaucus.house.gov and daughter of a union rail worker, I know firsthand the difference that union protections and benefits make for working families.
From its very first Representative, Harold Knutson in 1933 to Albert Gore Sr., it’s so special learning the history of our office – and an excellent reminder of the long-lasting impact of the work that we do today.
The latest edition of Gifted and Thrifted from the Third: After talking all things election integrity, @repmorelle graciously gifted us a list of every member of Congress who held our Washington office: 1213 Longworth.
Stay tuned for our community resource fair, service academy nomination forums, and more!
Whether it’s help with a federal agency or another issue you’re facing, you can always call (410) 832-8890 to speak to a member of our team.
After a busy morning in the District, I sat down with #TeamElfreth in our Columbia Office to discuss upcoming community projects, local priorities, constituent casework, and strategies to continue supporting our #MD03 neighbors on their hardest days.
We covered everything from the war in Iran to the work we are doing to lower energy & childcare costs – it truly is a highlight to hear directly from you!
If you weren’t able to join us, we’ll have many more town halls coming up this year – both in person and virtually. Stay tuned for more details!
Thank you to the more than 5,800 neighbors who joined Team Elfreth and me for last night’s telephone town hall! This was my 24th town hall since taking office, and it’s always a privilege to hear from neighbors what issues matter most to you.
