Introducing the 108th Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates, Joseline Peña-Melnyk!

The Trump Administration sees your struggles in reports and headlines and still doesn’t care. Not at all. Remember when they went to court twice to stop families from receiving their SNAP benefits during the shutdown. Maryland does the opposite. We show up, we respond, and we deliver for families.

Progress is a choice. Maryland chooses it every day by investing in families, workers, and communities.

When the Trump administration made their targets clear, we made ours clear too: we passed legislation to stop 287g agreements. Twice. Maryland law enforcement should not be an arm of Trump’s extreme agenda. MD House Dems will always fight to protect our immigrant communities.

No one asked Trump to campaign with them. Because no one wants to run on higher costs, government shutdowns, and chaos. Maryland Democrats are showing what leadership looks like: protecting families, growing jobs, and making life more affordable.

Washington stalls, Maryland steps up! While MAGA extremism leaves families hungry, MD House Dems pushed for $62 million to keep SNAP benefits flowing for those who rely on them. Maryland Democrats govern. MAGA Republicans grandstand.

Maryland isn’t waiting on Washington. While Trump pushes chaos, we’re cutting energy bills, keeping healthcare affordable, and creating jobs. Maryland Dems are fighting back, and delivering.

The Trump administration just turned their back on Western Maryland — leaving families, small businesses, and entire towns on their own. This week, the Appropriations Committee saw firsthand the resiliency of Western Maryland and how communities come together when it matters most.

No drama. Just results. This session, Maryland House Democrats – Worked to lower prescription drug costs – Supported federal workers – Reduced energy bills – Protected abortion access We’re working for Maryland. #Working4MD

Yes, the numbers are real. Republican cuts to Medicaid will close hospitals, raise premiums for working families, & create chaos across our state. MD Dems fought against similar cuts on the House Floor this Session — and we'll keep fighting against any effort to restrict your access to health care

Medicaid is MD's largest & most effective anti-poverty program - covering 1.5 million people in MD. No matter what Trump or Republicans say, MD Dems will NEVER stop fighting to protect health care. It's not a luxury. Not a bargaining chip to help the rich. It's a human right. #medicaid #maryland

Delegate Marc Korman's landmark gubernatorial ethics legislation is now law. @mkorman.bsky.social Here's what it means for accountability and transparency in our state:

After Hogan Controversy, Maryland Passes New Ethics Law

The law requires governors to divest from their holdings or place all their assets into a blind trust.

Today, MD House Dems passed a package of bills to provide immediate and long term relief for Marylanders facing high energy costs. As these issues continue to go unaddressed at the federal level, we are committed to a more affordable and sustainable future.

A responsible budget = a stronger Maryland. We’re balancing the budget while protecting investments in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and our workforce. We won’t wait to protect our state from the reckless actions of the Trump administration. We’re taking action NOW.

MD Democrats’ Budget Plan: •$1.6B in spending cuts •$1.2B in new revenue •$180M restored to DDA • Fully funds teachers & students in the Blueprint

NOW: House Republicans are pushing an amendment to the state budget that would rip health care away from vulnerable Marylanders, including kids — at a time when Trump’s White House is cutting access to health care in the state. This is not responsible governing.

Responsible governing is hard but MD House Dems have a balanced plan to keep Maryland strong.

Marylanders overwhelmingly agreed that abortion care is healthcare and a fundamental right. Today, the House passed HB930 to make sure that abortion clinics can stay open so we can provide adequate access and uphold reproductive rights.

Spent my morning meeting students from UMD’s School of Public Policy and Master’s in Public Admin program at the State House. I shared my journey to the House and the importance of authentic and unapologetic servant leadership. Excited to see these future leaders shape the future of Maryland!

Happening now in the Md. House: Republicans offering unconstitutional amendments to restrict abortion, months after Marylanders voted overwhelmingly to enshrine reproductive rights in our state constitution. House Democrats are voting all of these amendments down. The bill is HB 930 (Del. Lopez).

When the federal government is abolishing the Department of education, we are making education gains for real students across MD.

Maryland House Democrats just voted to fully fund the Blueprint and keep the promises we made to support our teachers and give every student a great education.

Any cuts to education funding will STUNT the extraordinary growth we've made for our students and teachers.

Right now MD House Dems are fighting for the historic investments in education that are delivering results. • Pre–K enrollment for 3 and 4–year olds is up by more than 50% • Students are showing strong improvement in math and English • Maryland is growing and attracting high–quality teachers
