Rep. Johnny Olszewski

Proudly representing Maryland’s 2nd Congressional District. Dad, husband, former public school teacher, and county executive. Always Ravens + Orioles.

There’s broad agreement across the nation: it’s time to reform stock trading in Congress. That's why I joined my colleagues in demanding Speaker Johnson bring the Restore Trust in Government Act to the floor for a vote.

Republicans want you to think this bill bans congressional stock trading. It doesn't. Instead, they snuck in provisions that make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. It's a bait and switch, and I'm voting no.

The Key Bridge collapse was a painful loss for our region. I joined a bipartisan group of state and federal leaders for an update on the rebuild. We have to keep up the momentum and do everything possible to rebuild as quickly, safely, and cost-effectively as we can.

Trump has turned the presidency into a grift: pocketing billions through crypto deals, stock trades, and pardons-for-cash, all while Americans struggle to afford groceries and rent. That's why I've introduced reforms to stop any president from using the White House for profits.

Trump's election claims are a dangerous political strategy: Republicans fear they can't win on the merits, so they're attacking the election system itself. Perhaps the president is our greatest threat to free and fair elections.

I asked a simple yes-or-no question: is it wrong for politicians to profit off public deals? The Trump officials at the table couldn't answer. Taxpayers shouldn't be footing the bill to make any politician richer.

Practical investments that meet real needs make #MD02 stronger. Proud to deliver $250K in federal funding for Reisterstown's historic Main Street to replace old street lamps with energy-efficient lighting, improving safety while preserving downtown's charm.

Citizens United was one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in our history. It's why I've pushed 18-year term limits for a Court with too much unchecked power, why I support public campaign financing, & why I'm proud to co-sponsor ending Citizens United for good.

Getting struck by lightning is more likely than voter fraud in the United States. The SAVE Act isn't a bill to stop that — it's a bill to disenfranchise millions of eligible Americans. It should NOT become law.

Huge win today: my first bill to become law! 🎉 The bipartisan RESIDE Act turns vacant, blighted properties into homes families can actually afford. Baltimore alone has 11,000 homes sitting empty. This law will help turn them into real opportunity. 🏡

My heart is with everyone affected by the devastating bus crash in Pikesville. I’m praying for the full recovery of those who were injured and keeping their loved ones in my thoughts. We thank the firefighters, EMTs, and other first responders whose swift actions saved lives.

33 injured in Pikesville bus crash: Baltimore County Fire Department

Baltimore County Fire Chief Joseph Dixon said during a media briefing that it was “like a war scene” and that it stretched from Old Court Road to McHenry Avenue on Reisterstown Road.
