Politics is a team sport, and delivering on large projects for our neighbors means working with our #TeamMaryland partners across the delegation.

Every year on Memorial Day, we come together to honor those who paid the ultimate price for our freedoms. Today, I joined Ellicott City’s VFW Post 7472 for their annual Memorial Day Community Lunch to pay tribute to these fallen heroes.

As the proud daughter of a BLET Local 71 railworker, I know the long nights, weekends, and many sacrifices our railworkers make throughout their careers.

Last year, I met with University of Maryland Baltimore President Dr. Bruce Jarrell after the University faced nearly $41.1 million in cuts in federal grants by the Trump Administration – severely impacting their work as one of the nation’s leading professional schools & biomedical research programs.

Since the 1700s, Baltimore has been a hub for American shipbuilding and manufacturing. Today, Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore (which is actually in the 3rd Congressional District!) still serves as the Coast Guard’s sole shipbuilding and major repair facility in the United States.

The President should not be allowed to trade stocks. Members of Congress should not be allowed to trade stocks. Full stop. That’s why I’ve co-sponsored the Restore Trust in Government Act to prohibit elected officials from owning and trading individual stocks.

In this week’s House Armed Services Committee hearing, I used my time to ensure we are conducting oversight of the Trump Administration’s Department of Defense and getting answers on mitigating civilian casualties everywhere, and especially in the midst of this irresponsible war in Iran.

One perk of being close to D.C.: running into constituents – including our youngest constituents – on the Hill! Last week, I met Maya, a @capac.house.gov fellow and #MD03 constituent who is interested in public service, at CAPAC’s AANHPI Heritage Month celebration.

Congressman Barney Frank was a giant in public service and a beacon of hope for many. In 1987, Congressman Frank broke barriers as the first member of Congress to come out while in office – and throughout his career, he continued to lead the fight for LGBTQ+ equality and representation.

Dr. Firozvi is one of Maryland Oncology’s many incredible cancer specialists who came to Washington to discuss ways we can continue working together to expand patient access to care.

Whether it’s invasive blue catfish in the Chesapeake Bay, invasive carp in the Great Lakes, or snakehead in North Carolina, it’s clear that no community or district – Democrat and Republican alike – is safe from the threat of invasive species.

After the tragedy that unfolded yesterday in San Diego, we are reminded of a simple principle that our country must live up to: neighbors of all faith backgrounds deserve to be safe and feel safe in their homes of worship.

Behind the scenes of a busy day in Washington: Ollie watching as I manage the floor debate of three bipartisan bills for the House Natural Resources Committee - after a five hour House Armed Services Committee hearing on the Middle East.

Ensuring our military installations are prepared to withstand rising tides and floods is crucial to our military readiness and national security.

From unprecedented cuts to SNAP to reckless tariffs and now President Trump’s war in Iran, more Americans than ever before are struggling to afford the basic necessities and put food on the table.

My heart is with the Muslim community following this horrific attack on San Diego’s largest mosque. In this nation, everyone has the right to worship freely and without fear.

Every day, I hear from neighbors who are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, doctor's appointments, BGE bills, and more.

🇺🇸 This year is the 250th anniversary of our great nation – that’s 250 years that We the People have had a say in this radical experiment of self-governance. That's why I want to hear how you are continuing to be part of this great democratic experiment.

I made it back from a long week in DC on Friday in time to speak to my niece Orla’s fifth-grade class at Germantown Elementary School for Career Day! We covered all aspects of my job as their Congresswoman, from how I vote on the Floor to legislation I’m working on to protect the Bay & much more.

My team and I are here for you on your hardest days. Every day, we help neighbors who need help with federal agencies like Carolyn.

🪖Our second Service Academy Nomination Forum is less than one week away! Dozens of high school students came out to our Howard County Forum, eager to learn more about the nominations process.

Today is Armed Forces Day, a time to honor all those who have answered the call to serve our country. As the daughter and granddaughter of Army, Navy, and Air Force veterans, I know the sacrifice our men and women in uniform – and their families – make each and every day.

As your member of Congress, my job is not just to be your voice in Washington – it’s also about being on the ground, helping our neighbors on their hardest days. That’s why my team and I will be hosting our first #MD03 Constituent Resources Fair on Thursday, May 28, at 5:30 PM in Howard County.

Supporting our NATO allies and advancing our shared security goals means coordinating with our allies every step of the way. This week, I sat down with the Deputy Chief Minister of Gibraltar – which is one of the most strategically important territories for the U.S. and our NATO allies.

In honor of Police Week, I took a moment on the House Floor to recognize 20 incredible members of the Annapolis Police Department who received the Life Saving Award and the Meritorious Service Award for their heroism and outstanding service.

Once again, I voted to end hostilities in Iran. We are now 75 days into this war. 14 servicemembers have lost their lives. And we are spending $29 billion – all while Congress has been silent.

I might not have gotten the memo to wear pink, but I had an incredible time joining the Women’s Giving Circle for their Big Give 2026 Event!

This is micromanagement at its worst. One of the most important roles of the Department of the Interior is to issue grants for communities across the country – communities represented by Democrats and Republicans alike.

Since 1962, Naval Academy plebes have been challenged to rely solely on teamwork to climb the 21-foot Herndon Monument – while it's covered in nearly 200 pounds of vegetable shortening – and replace the Dixie Cup up top with an upperclassman’s cover to finish their plebe year and become midshipmen.

It’s never too early to start learning about civic participation & protecting the environment! As part of earning their “My Community” badge, I spoke with the incredible & curious Webelos from Pack 617 about my work in Congress & the importance of participating in this great democratic experiment.

President Trump’s unconstitutional and unjustified war in Iran is exacerbating the affordability crisis. Whether it's groceries, gas, or utilities, costs are skyrocketing – and Maryland families are the ones paying the price.

BWI is such a crucial part of #MD03, the state of Maryland, and our nation – supporting our economy and connecting tens of thousands of people to the places they need to go each and every day.

To date, #TeamElfreth has closed 2,053 constituent cases – that’s 2,053 neighbors we’ve been able to help with federal agency issues from Social Security to the VA to the IRS and more! One of those neighbors, Bill from Elkridge, had problems receiving his hard-earned pension from OPM.

Such a beautiful way to start my Sunday: joining my friend Ms. Joy Walker and the Asbury United Methodist community for worship and to hear the good word from Pastor Michael Parker!

On the Beyond the Hyphen podcast, I spoke with Mark Li – an incredible high schooler at River Hill – about an issue that’s top of mind for so many young people in this country: the affordability crisis.

Happy Mother’s Day! 💐I hope all of the Moms out there are enjoying a lovely and peaceful day surrounded by your families and loved ones.

🇺🇸 250 years ago, our nation was founded on the radical idea of self-determination, giving the people the power to freely decide who governs them.

It’s never too early to be civically engaged, and the incredible high schoolers in @scanlon.house.gov’s Congressional Youth Cabinet are perfect examples of that.

ICYMI: I used my time on the House Armed Services Committee to push Secretary Hegseth to commit to releasing $400 million in funding that Congress bipartisanly allocated to support Ukraine.

We just wrapped the first of our #MD03 Service Academy Nomination Forums right here in Howard County!
