Delivering common-sense, common-ground solutions for Maryland’s 6th District in Congress. Official account.
Today, we celebrate the 61st anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid. Trump promised he would never touch them. He broke that promise. I’m fighting to protect and strengthen Medicare and Medicaid so every family, senior, and person with a disability can get the care they deserve.
As we've seen with Trump’s rejection of FEMA aid for Western Maryland, his partisan retribution and pettiness hurts all working families. Our President should be the President for all communities - irrespective of party, circumstance or zip code. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
It's 3 times harder for blue states to get disaster funding under Trump
The president has approved just 23 percent of blue state requests for disaster aid, compared to 89 percent for red states.

As a mom of four, I know how quickly back-to-school costs add up. This year, families are expected to spend an average of $485 more per child just to get ready for school.
This weekend, my team had the pleasure of joining Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller, Maryland Department of Agriculture Secretary Kevin Atticks, County Executive Marc Elrich, and other local, county —
Team Delaney recently attended the Allegany Farm Bureau Summer Picnic to help kick off the Allegany County Fair! 🎡 It was great spending time with neighbors, farmers, and community leaders celebrating one of Allegany County’s favorite traditions.
Enough with the economic chaos. The up-and-down tariffs are driving up costs for working families. Instead of lowering prices, this Administration and House Republicans are creating more uncertainty.
Today, my staff was thrilled to join Montgomery County Officials as we celebrated a major step toward bringing back into operation White’s Ferry of Dickerson, Maryland.
Kids shouldn’t be the next target of the online gambling industry. This week in the House Agriculture Committee, I pressed witnesses on why prediction markets aren't subject to the same youth advertising standards as licensed sportsbooks.
Another big week in Congress. I voted NO on the Republican budget resolution and YES on the bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution. No endless war. No SAVE America Act voter suppression. Congress—not one president—should decide when America goes to war.
Team Delaney had a great time at the Washington County Fair! My staff enjoyed working in Washington County Farm Bureau's Shake and Cream Stand, serving ice cream to fair-goers.
Big news: My bipartisan SCALE Biology Act just advanced out of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee. America can't lead the future of biotechnology without the standards that power innovation.
The push to reestablish settlements in Gaza by far-right members of the Israeli cabinet would only undermine the path to peace and a two-state solution and deepen suffering for Palestinians.
Israel’s far-right openly boasts of resettling Gaza as election looms | CNN
With elections looming in October, Israel’s right wing is turning the push to rebuild Jewish settlements in Gaza into a central issue of their campaign.

One of the best parts of this job is being out in the community with the people I serve. It was an honor to join Asbury United Methodist Church's Annual Community Block Party and present a Congressional Certificate recognizing their incredible commitment to our neighbors.
My thoughts are with the families of the two U.S. service members killed in Iran’s attack, and with the loved ones of the service member still missing as they await answers.
Six years ago today, we lost Congressman John Lewis, but his legacy lives on. I was honored to join him on his annual pilgrimage to Selma with my husband John—an experience I’ll never forget.
This speech is not about election security—it's about laying the groundwork to question any result Donald Trump doesn't like. Our elections are administered by dedicated public servants, protected by strong safeguards, and deserve the confidence of the American people.
The right to vote was never freely given. It was hard won over generations, by people who marched, organized, and faced violence in order to secure it. The President’s speech tonight has again made clear: this work is unfinished.
Trump's election speech tonight isn't about the election he lost six years ago. It's about casting doubt on the election he's afraid to lose this November.
This is what happens when ideology replaces competence. DOGE cuts weakened our public health infrastructure, Cyclospora reporting became optional, and now cases have spread across 31 states. Americans shouldn't have to worry that reckless political decisions are putting their health at risk.

Just days after the death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, another person was killed by ICE in Biddeford, Maine. This pattern of lawlessness and impunity cannot continue. No body cameras. Another life lost. ICE must be held accountable, & the American people deserve the truth. Accountability cannot wait.
Fatal shooting involving ICE officers under investigation in Maine
A local advocacy group identified the victim as a 26-year-old Colombian man who was authorized to work in the United States. DHS has not yet commented on the incident.

Nonpartisan, independent assistance from the EAC helps our communities run secure and efficient elections. Firing EAC commissioners just months before the midterm elections is just another step to inject political interference into our democratic processes.
Trump has just fired the 3 remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission. This leaves the independent, bipartisan group without leadership ahead of midterm elections.
First Renée Good. Then Alex Pretti. Now Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. How many more lives before there is accountability? ICE has not publicly presented any evidence to support their account of this tragic event.
Migrants who saw man killed by ICE in Houston say he did not ram officers
Three men who were in the vehicle alongside Lorenzo Salgado Araujo are contesting the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the fatal shooting.

Team McClain Delaney had a great time attending the 1976 Time Capsule opening at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts!
When disaster strikes, Americans deserve a President—not a petty politician settling scores. After Western Maryland’s devastating floods, Trump denied FEMA aid to Maryland while neighboring West Virginia received assistance. And now, he’s doing it again!
Trump denies disaster aid for 4 Democratic-led states
The move deepens what Democrats say is the president's politicization of federal emergency management decisions.

Another reminder that President Trump is not above the law. Today’s ruling rejected his attempt to put his personal interests ahead of one of America’s great public institutions. That’s a win for accountability and the rule of law.
Appeals court denies Trump's request to halt removal of his name from Kennedy Center
A panel of appeals court judges has rejected a request by President Trump to stay a lower court's order that his name be removed from the Kennedy Center.

Trump shouldn’t govern based on personal grievances or because he didn’t get his way. It’s reckless and irresponsible to threaten to cut off trade with Spain in a temper tantrum-like tweet.
Trump calls to cut off all US trade with Spain
President Trump lashed out at Spain early Wednesday during remarks from the NATO summit, urging the U.S. to cut off all trade with the European country over what he called a lack of contributions t…

Happy Independence Day! Today, we’re celebrating 250 years of America’s history—and the communities that helped shape it.
As the only MD Representative on the Ag Committee, I've been fighting to stop the closure of BARC and other USDA facilities, protect our federal workers, and continue valuable research that supports our farmers.
Our Internship Program is now accepting applications! Interested in public service? Join my team and gain hands-on experience serving the people of Maryland’s Sixth District while learning more about the work we do every day in Congress. 🗓️ Applications close July 12 at 11:59 PM ET.
Across Maryland's Sixth District, I hear the same thing: families want lower costs and more affordable housing. Proud to join my New Dems colleagues today to call on President Trump to stop playing politics and sign the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act.
