Dad. Proud Marylander. Congressman representing Maryland's 5th District. Chair of the U.S. House of Representatives Regional Leadership Council.

One of the proudest moments of my time in public service was sponsoring the ADA & seeing it through to enactment. As we celebrate the ADA's 36th anniversary, let us remember its intent to ensure nondiscrimination, public accommodation, equal access, & inclusion for all Americans with disabilities.

The Constitution is clear: Congress holds the power of the purse. Handing the President more control over federal spending threatens the bipartisan negotiations needed to prevent funding lapses within our government.

From day one, #TeamMaryland has worked together closely to ensure that the Key Bridge is rebuilt as safely, quickly, and cost-effectively as possible. I thank Gov. Moore and my colleagues for their efforts to ensure proper Congressional oversight for this critical project for Maryland & the nation.

Six years ago today, we lost my brother in service and faith, Congressman John Lewis. We carry his legacy forward by continuing the fight for justice, equality, and the right to vote. Let's keep getting into "Good Trouble" and pursuing the more perfect union that John worked so hard to achieve.

In July 2025, the State Department experienced its biggest loss of knowledge & expertise when DOGE abruptly fired 1,350 dedicated employees for no legitimate cause.

Eliminating aid for Israel would limit our ability to confront terrorist organizations, dangerously undermine our national security, and weaken our ability to engage in the region. We must continue to support our steadfast ally and a two-state solution so we can deliver on the promise of peace.

America must ensure Ukraine has every resource it needs to not just survive, but to win against Putin's illegal, immoral, and unjust war. Victory is not only achievable, but increasingly within reach. I will continue fighting to ensure we don't abandon our allies or yield to tyranny.

Small businesses deserve our help, and they deserve answers. As Trump and Republicans tell American workers & small businesses owners "You're on your own,” @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fighting to ensure they get the resources and support they need to help their businesses grow.

As the lead sponsor of the Help America Vote Act, which created the bipartisan EAC, I'm appalled at Trump's latest shameful attempt to erode Americans' trust in our voting system. HAVA & the Constitution could not be clearer: while election results may be partisan, election administration is not.

Last month, President Trump said that ‘it’s raining jobs.' But the numbers don’t lie: with only 57,000 jobs created & 4.2% unemployment, Americans are seeing their economic opportunities dry up.

Republicans refused to extend ACA tax credits, and now millions of Americans are being priced out of their health care premiums. Losing access to affordable health care means working families will have to make incredibly tough choices to make ends meet. The American people deserve better than this.

Today, SCOTUS affirmed that the President has misread the clear meaning and intent of the 14th Amendment. Those who are born in this country have the right to call it home as a citizen. They are a part of the American project and will remain so as we build a stronger democracy together.

Congress intentionally set up independent agencies, boards, & commissions to reflect both majority & minority views. Today’s SCOTUS decision establishes that the President’s policies matter over an independent commission's judgement.

During Pride Month, we celebrate the progress made to deliver the LGBTQ+ community the rights, respect, and recognition they deserve. Let us keep working to ensure our nation lives up to the principles of freedom and equality by fighting against discrimination to protect all Americans' civil rights.
