On National Food Bank Day, we must remember that hunger is not inevitable—it’s a problem we have the power to solve. Yet the Administration’s cuts to food assistance put too many families at risk. I’ve visited food banks across our district and met Marylanders who are working…

Farmers trust the @USDA and @USDAFSA with their most personal financial information when they apply for loans and programs, believing it will only be handled by trained staff. When DOGE accessed these systems and potentially misused their data, that trust was broken. Today, I…

My statement after voting no on the House Majority’s Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act:

It was a pleasure to meet with the team at @hundzsoilEG, a global leader that has just made Maryland—and our district—their new home. Their innovative soil conditioner is designed to maximize water intake in agriculture. This kind of breakthrough technology has the power not only…

For over a year, I’ve worked tirelessly to restore these funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law because I know how much safer roads, reduced congestion and stronger infrastructure mean to families and communities across our district. This is about more than roads and…

Big thanks to @CongressMin for organizing a fun fantasy football draft for our Congressional freshmen! 🏈 Always looking to up my game—constituents, any recommendations for must-draft players? Maryland ties a plus.
