New playground ✔️ Sarvis Café ✔️ Purple Line stops ✔️ Roundtable with community leaders ✔️ Our tour highlighted what makes D22 strong: safe spaces for kids, healthy food, reliable transit, and engaged voices at the table. Grateful to work alongside Team 22 and CEX Braveboy.

Nothing beats marching in the 70th Greenbelt Labor Day Parade 🇺🇸💪🏾 A tradition that reminds us of the power of community and the strength of working people who make Maryland and Prince George’s strong! #ThankAUnion

🚨💻 Due to routine IT updates the Maryland General Assembly website along with access to our state emails won’t be available till 9/2/25. If you’re in need of me or my office during this weekend, we’re still here to serve—you can email [email protected].

Growing up in Catholic school, every Friday we attended Mass and it was sacred time to be with God. Now even the pews aren’t safe. What happened in Minneapolis is enraging. Children deserve our protection, not empty prayers. Congress must act—end gun violence now.

If we’re a “big tent” party, then we must be clear: anti-war, anti-genocide. What’s happening in Gaza is devastating and in this moment of crisis, Americans need leadership. DNC can’t just talk. We must act. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

The first day of school is always full of promise. Here’s to a safe, successful, and empowering year for all of our PGCPS students, families, and educators! #FirstDayofSchool

Due Process Defended, Justice Upheld: here’s my statement the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

On Southern HIV Awareness Day, I joined Us Helping Us at their community fish fry to celebrate community and recommit ourselves to ending the HIV epidemic. Here in Maryland as the most northern Southern state—we know this fight is close to home.

This week, I moderated a powerful panel on immigration enforcement and local government at the annual #MACoCon. Thank you to Maryland Association of Counties (MACo) for creating space for this critical conversation.

As Washington, D.C. turns toward cuts, here in Maryland we are doubling down—investing boldly in our people, our communities, and our future.

In every brushstroke and every story shared, there’s healing. Honored to recognize the young artists of the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System Therapy Through Art program led by Olympic artist Jesse Raudales. These scholars used creativity to foster resilience and hope in our community.

@ivey.house.gov & @ashantimartinez.bsky.social during a Town Hall Meeting re: the impact of "one big beautiful budget bill" on healthcare (Fed $ cuts to Medicaid, SNAP & Medicare). If your elected leaders are as busy as these people, you're fortunate!

From working together as staff in the General Assembly to serving together in the House, it’s an honor to support my friend and Latino Caucus member, Delegate Teresa S. Woorman, for District 16. Her passion and dedication for community inspires me every day!

60 years of Medicaid. A lifetime of care—now under threat. Join me & Rep. Glenn Ivey for a town hall on healthcare + the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. 🗓️ 7/30 | ⏰ 10AM–12PM | 📍Greenbelt, MD

I’ve introduced legislation two years in a row to tax Big Tech and use the money to fund youth mental health services in Maryland. Now, Harford County is taking Meta, TikTok, and others to court over the harm they’ve caused our kids. I fully support their efforts. t.co/a3wjeL2BCF

From the heart of Greenbelt to the trails of our national park celebrating Pride and planet this weekend in District 22! 🌈🌳 Honored to attend Greenbelt Pride Festival, and to join the Prince George’s County Sierra Club for their gathering in Greenbelt National Park.

The longer they wait to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, the more it seems like they're hiding something. Today @durbin.senate.gov and I sent a letter to AG Pam Bondi calling for the immediate release of the Epstein files — in line with our bipartisan, unanimously-approved amendment⬇️

When Auntie Maxine speaks, we listen! Grateful to talk crypto, community, and collaboration with a living legend during #NBCSLonTheHill.

Greenbelt Earned It. We’re Defending It. Thank you Senator Chris Van Hollen.

Amb. Huckabee told me during his confirmation process that he cared about Christians in the Holy Land.   So, Amb. Huckabee, I ask: What are you doing to get the Netanyahu government to stop these attacks and hold perpetrators accountable?

CPAC gave me a 0%. I’ll take that as a 100% for the people I fight for.

Kilmar deserves a fair trial here, in the community he calls home. Due process isn’t optional—it’s a constitutional right. I stand with Kilmar. #JusticeForKilmar

This bill isn’t beautiful — it’s dangerous. Pick up the phone. Tell Congress: NO on the Big Bullshit Bill.

Statement from the Maryland Legislative Latino Caucus on Supreme Court Ruling Related to Birthright Citizenship

Congratulations @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! It’s so comforting to know that smart, young, hardworking, progressive candidates can win races that matter. People focused leaders are the way Democrats win.

Proud to earn a 💯 on the 2025 MD Humane Scorecard! Protecting animals is part of building a more compassionate Maryland. 🐾

Thank you to @ashantimartinez.bsky.social for speaking at our #NoKings event in Riverdale today!

BREAKING UPDATE: A Minnesota lawmaker and her husband were killed in a "politically motivated assassination" by a suspect posing as police, officials say, and another state lawmaker and his wife were injured. A massive manhunt is underway. Follow live updates: cnn.it/3FWCwda

No kings. No crowns. Just people power. 🔥✊🏾 #NoKings #WeRunThis

What we saw today is what we see in dictatorships. And if they can do this to @padilla.senate.gov, imagine how vulnerable others in this country are to this kind of tyranny and abuse. This is a moment for every American to STAND UP for freedom and for our Constitution.

In Maryland we value our neighbors. Here’s my statement regarding Department of Homeland Security Classification of Sanctuary Jurisdictions in Maryland.

The Trump Admin is freezing flood mitigation programs that are vital for protecting Maryland's most at-risk areas, including South Baltimore, Cambridge and Crisfield. With cuts to FEMA and the NWS, they're gutting disaster preparedness from every direction. It will cost lives.

Team 22 delivering results! We presented a $165,000 check to Town of Berwyn Heights and Berwyn Heights Elementary for much-needed park and playground upgrades. Safe, fun spaces for our kids to grow and play—that’s what investing in community looks like.

Three sessions in. Still grounded. Still fired up. And still working for you.

Sen. Alonzo Washington and I presented a $200K check to Greenbelt for a new elevator at the Community Center—funded through our Legislative Bond Initiative. Honored to share the news at the annual Senior Breakfast hosted by CM Ingrid Watson!

I salute the 600 Naval Academy grads who released a letter condemning Trump's book bans at the Academy.   At this week's Board meeting, I moved to reverse the ban & made clear I won’t give up the fight. Are we really afraid to have midshipmen read Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”?

Back at it for my 3rd Azalea Classic 5K—2nd year as a proud Silver Sponsor! Supporting University Park Elementary, one step at a time with my 5K partner—my mom.

Stephen Miller says the Trump team is actively exploring suspending habeas corpus — your right to challenge unlawful detention. This is a direct threat to due process. We can’t stay silent.

4th Annual Social Justice Student Awards, young voices took center stage, these students are not just learning history—they’re living it. As Delegate I provided Citations to celebrate them. Read more: greenbeltnewsreview.com/news-stories/social-justice-student-awards-draw-crowd-public-figures

It's been 105 days since Trump took an oath to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution." Now he says he "doesn't know" if he needs to do that? We can disagree on many issues but America must unite to protect our Constitution.

From pancakes to parades, Pride to poetry — District 22 showed OUT today!🥞🎉🏳️‍🌈🎬 Grateful to celebrate community, joy, and justice all across the county. 💪🏽🧡

We made a pledge—and we mean it. As your Delegate, I joined my District 22 colleagues to stand up for due process, federal workers, and our community’s future. Read more: greenbeltnewsreview.com/news-stories/district-22-pledge-to-fight-for-due-process-fbi-hq-federal-workers

President Donald Trump acknowledged that he could secure the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador last month but refuses to do so.

This is 29—Happy Birthday me 🎈

This Earth Day, I’m reminded why the fight for environmental justice starts right here at home. The Northwest Branch of the Anacostia isn’t just a trail—it’s a sacred space for community, connection, and renewal. Let’s protect what we love. For the generations after us.

District 22 showed up and spoke out! At our community town hall and rally, we sent a clear message: we won’t let the proposed Maglev project bulldoze through our neighborhoods and communities. Thank you to everyone who joined us—your voices, your stories, and your energy power this fight.

On this Good Friday, we welcomed Senator Chris Van hollen back from his trip to El Salvador, where he met with officials to advocate for Kilmar García—an innocent man detained without due process. Thank you, Senator Van Hollen, for standing with our communities. #FreeKilmarGarcia

Should add that while RFK Jr. is talking about how autism destroys families, the Trump administration sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the father of an #ActuallyAutistic child to El Salvador and says without evidence that he's a member of MS-13.

200+ of us gathered today for a press conference to demand due process and justice for #KilmarGarcía — an innocent man sent to a gulag in El Salvador. We thank Senator Chris Van Hollen for traveling to El Salvador to check on Kilmar’s well-being. When our communities are under attack—we show up.

📣 Saturday, April 19th — I’ll be joining the District 22 Team for a Community Town Hall in Greenbelt! 🏛️🌳 📍 Greenbelt Library 📫 11 Crescent Road, Greenbelt, MD 🕙 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM Come out, ask questions, and hear what we’ve been working on in Annapolis!
