Delivering common-sense, common-ground solutions for Maryland’s 6th District in Congress. Official account.
A gray, chilly day made for the perfect coffee stop at Cafe Nola

Great meeting Sarah Irani—a local artist and Frederick City’s newest councilmember—to talk about making life more affordable: better transit and stronger community investment for Frederick and MD-06 families.

The Republicans’ SAVE America Act forces states to run voter rolls through DHS’s SAVE database — a system already misidentifying real U.S. citizens. Bad data shouldn’t block eligible Americans from casting a ballot.

Here’s what that means for voters in MD-06 and across the country 👇

Ramadan is a sacred time for reflection and prayer. Ramadan Mubarak to all observing in MD-06!

It was wonderful connecting with Montgomery County leaders recently. Convenings like this give me hands-on insight into the challenges our communities face, help surface local priorities, coordinate solutions, and ensure federal policies reflect the real-world needs of MD-6.

As a giant in the civil rights movement, Rev. Jesse Jackson carried the hopes of millions on his shoulders. He never waited for permission, but widened the table so others could lead. He gave voice to Black Americans and to communities told to wait their turn while injustice marched on.

Gov. Wes Moore governs. Trump plays politics. This burst pipe is DCWater’s system, not Maryland’s. We need action. Trump denied @fema flood relief to MD-06 after Potomac storms, greenlit WV for the same disaster, and opposed funding to repair aging water systems.

Trump blames Gov. Moore for Potomac River sewage spill, says FEMA will play key role in cleanup
A 60-year-old pipe in Cabin John collapsing, is what caused the sewage spill. However, Trump claimed gross mismanagement by Democrats was behind the spill.

This Valentine’s Day, I hope that everyone is able to carve out time with their loved ones - family, friends and those who make us feel included, valued and understood.

At midnight, funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security expires — and it should not be renewed without good faith negotiations from the White House and Republicans.

After 108 days and 2,000 miles — walking from Fort Worth, TX to Washington, sometimes barefoot and through the snow — these monks completed their Walk of Peace.

Welcoming them to Capitol Hill was incredibly special.

Climate change is not an opinion. It is a fact – and it hurts all of us.

President Trump’s denial of climate change and repeal of the endangerment finding threaten public health and our planet — undermining the EPA’s core mission to protect us from dangerous air pollution.

This week marks one year since Trump’s mass firing of 300,000 federal workers and I’m demanding answers.

From NIST and NIH to Fort Detrick, the fallout hit our district hard.

No ICE detention center in Washington County. Not on my watch.

I introduced a bill to block ICE from opening a detention center in Washington County.

These facilities are failing basic standards of decency. People are not packages.

I voted NO on the SAVE Act.

Non-citizen voting is already illegal in federal elections.

When politicians can’t win voters, they try to pick them.

I’m VOTING NO on the SAVE ACT because it will:

➡️ Require proof of citizenship at poll sites — like a passport or birth certificate — documents millions of Americans don’t carry with them

➡️ Charge Americans up to $130 to obtain paperwork

ICE bought a warehouse in Williamsport for a 1,500-person detention facility.

I’m fighting to stop it — and I need to hear from you.

Take my quick survey and make your voice heard ⬇️

I’m taking action to keep ICE out of Washington County.

Today, I introduced the Keep ICE Out of Washington County, Maryland Act to block ICE’s secret plan to turn a warehouse in Williamsport into a 1,500-person detention center.
February 10, 2026 at 5:06 PM
We strongly oppose DHS's plan to turn a warehouse near Hagerstown into a 1,500-person ICE detention center.

Today, I joined Senator Van Hollen and Senator Alsobrooks in pressing the Washington County Board of County Commissioners for answers.

Horrified by today’s shooting at Thomas Wootton High School in Rockville. I’m in touch with @raskin.house.gov and Montgomery County officials to check on those injured and HOW a gun entered the school. As a mom & Montgomery County resident, this shakes me to the core.

Bad Bunny’s #SuperBowl performance was extraordinary! In this polarizing time, he lifted up unity through a celebration of his Puerto Rican upbringing and an ethos of love triumphant over hate, of hope, light, and family. Diversity is our strength and unity is our power.

A big day for downtown Frederick. Team Delaney joined Gov. Wes Moore and community leaders to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new hotel and conference center.

The President’s post targeting Former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama is rooted in hatred and racism. This is who he is—and what he’s willing to normalize. It is unacceptable. 
 
Every leader who believes in basic decency must speak out now.
Silence is complicity.
White House removes Trump post with racist footage of Obamas hours after defending it
The footage is included in a video that promotes false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against Mr. Trump.

Trump’s latest executive order—driven by the cruel, Machiavellian agenda of Miller and Vought—puts another 50,000 career public servants at risk, including thousands of dedicated Marylanders who keep our government running every day.

Team Delaney was thrilled to join our Frederick neighbors and celebrate African Americans of Excellence night at the Weinberg, honoring local figures of Black History. Congratulations to all the Honorees!

Public transit connects Marylanders to jobs, schools, and opportunity.

I joined WMATA’s Annual Meeting celebrating 50 years of connecting Maryland, DC, and Virginia.
