Today is National Public Lands Day, a time to celebrate our rich ecological history and natural treasures. As the Vice Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Committee, I’m committed to defending our public lands and ensuring they stay open and accessible.

I’m so excited that Spencer and the rest of the Chick & Ruth’s team have made me part of their tradition and even more proud to continue supporting our #MD03 small businesses!

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 26(source)

On a lighter note, Chick & Ruth’s has been a staple in the Annapolis community for 60 years. Featured in the New York Times & on the Travel Channel, people come for the food & stay for the traditions – like doing the Pledge of Allegiance every morning & naming sandwiches after elected officials.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 26(source)

I also want you to know that during this time, my Columbia and Washington offices will remain open, and we will continue to serve our constituents, just as we always have. If you need assistance, please give us a call at (410) 832-8890.

Impact of a Government Shutdown

I know this looming government shutdown brings uncertainty for all of us. Whether you're a federal employee, a member of our military, or someone who relies on critical programs to help put food on the table or keep a roof over your family's head, a government shutdown is never easy.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 26(source)

From our conversations, we have compiled a resource guide for those in #MD03 and across Maryland navigating a potential government shutdown.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 26(source)

I’ve heard from many of you – from federal employees to those who rely on crucial government programs – who are feeling the uncertainty as we get closer to a potential government shutdown.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 26(source)

We’re now one week away from the deadline to submit an application for Military Academy Nominations. If you know any passionate young individuals who want to serve our nation, be sure to submit the nomination application by 11:59 PM Friday, October 3rd, 2025. More details at the link below:

Military Academy Nominations

The honor of attending a service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.

Thank you to Niti, Sanjay, and the Indian Cultural Association of Howard County for your work in organizing this wonderful celebration of culture and heritage for our communities!

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 25(source)

Did you know that #MD03 has one of the largest Indian festivals in Maryland (and the country)? The Festival of India - Diwali Mela draws in more than 20,000 guests over the weekend to celebrate the cultural diversity of the Indian community with amazing music, dance, food, clothing, crafts, & more.

These additional options are crucial to parents and families as the cost of living rises, which is why I’m committed to keep fighting for HeadStart funding in Washington.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 25(source)

But, there’s exciting progress: Howard County just expanded its HeadStart program to provide free child care for children as young as 6 weeks through 2 years old.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 25(source)

In Howard County, full-time child care can cost over $15,000 for one child. With the ongoing affordability crisis, many Maryland families – especially those with working or student parents – are struggling to afford this care and stay in the workforce.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 25(source)

In today's edition of Sarah Explains It All, I’ll be breaking down what ACA tax credits are and why they’re crucial to affordable healthcare – not just to those enrolled, but everyone in Maryland and across the country.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 25(source)

At the end of the year, the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits are set to expire because of President Trump’s Big Ugly Law. But what does that mean for Marylanders?

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 25(source)

Yet, DHS and ICE have been arresting & detaining Dreamers – even sending them to “Alligator Alcatraz” – despite clear legal protections for DACA recipients. I’ve joined my fellow House Democrats demanding answers from Secretary Noem & Director Lyons on these violations of due process for Dreamers.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 25(source)

For 13 years, DACA has transformed lives, providing thousands of our neighbors, loved ones, and coworkers with opportunities to work, study, and better their communities and our country.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 25(source)

I’m so grateful that I could join Rabbi Axler and more than 500 members of our community for their annual Rosh Hashanah in Our Park service to celebrate the high holiday, reflect on the past year, and commit to fighting to better our community and our country. L’shanah tova!

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 25(source)

Since 1970, the Temple Isaiah has been a pillar of the Jewish community and beyond in Howard County, providing a space for learning, civic engagement, and spirituality.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.govSep 24(source)

My heart breaks for Dallas, and my prayers are with the victims, their families, and all those affected. Congress must act to unify our country and ensure all of our communities can be free from the fear of gun violence.
