Proudly representing Maryland’s 2nd Congressional District. Dad, husband, former public school teacher, and county executive. Always Ravens + Orioles.
“...the Trump administration is seeking to usurp guardrails that are enshrined in the Fourth Amendment and have protected Americans’ civil liberties for centuries, experts in constitutional law and immigration policy told CNN.” — @cnn.com

This type of blatant disregard for the law must end now.

With extreme winter weather conditions expected throughout the weekend, I urge Marylanders to take precautions to stay safe and warm.

A school official says ICE used a 5-year-old asylum seeker as bait.

That is cruel and wrong.

All children deserve safety, not fear - and it's another reason why I voted NO on legislation that allows ICE to continue operating without accountability. apnews.com/article/immi...

As we mark the 53rd #RoevWade anniversary—the 4th without Roe—we reaffirm that reproductive rights are human rights.

I proudly testified in support of enshrining reproductive freedom in Maryland’s Constitution in 2023. We got it done.

I'll be voting “NO” on ICE funding.

A peaceful, democratic transition in Venezuela is in the best interest of both the American people and the Venezuelan people.

@houseforeign.bsky.social met with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to thank her for her sacrifice and leadership.

Trump’s reckless tariffs and economic chaos are hitting families’ wallets.

Due to his choices, Maryland families paid $1,326 more in 2025.

One year of Trump: costs are up & families are hurting.

Dr. King taught us that service matters.

Today, #TeamMD02 volunteered with the Baltimore County Student Support Network to pack 500 bags of menstrual care products and hundreds of weekend food bags for Baltimore County students. #MLKDay

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose dream of a more just and equitable nation continues to inspire us all.

Let us recommit to rising above our differences and making Dr. King’s dream a reality. #MLKDay

Americans are already paying far too much under President Trump’s reckless tariffs. He’s now seeking to drive those costs up even further by taxing our closest allies in a desperate, narcissistic attempt to ‘buy’ Greenland. (1/3)

Community spaces bring #MD02 together!

Proud to join the Maryland State Fair & local leaders for the ribbon cutting of Harvest Hall—made possible in part by funding I secured as Baltimore County Executive. This venue will honor our farming heritage and create new opportunities for community events!

🚨 Great news: I secured $8.2 million to make our neighborhoods safer and stronger—investing in public safety and critical infrastructure while pushing back against the reckless abuses we’ve seen over the past year.

We can still govern in a responsible and bipartisan way.

🚨 Trump and Rubio owe Americans answers on Venezuela: Who’s in charge? Who’s paying? What’s next?

The rising cost of education is putting college out of reach for too many Americans.

That’s why I’m proud to lead this bipartisan, bicameral bill to help students earn guaranteed college credit in high school—lowering college costs and getting people into the workforce faster.

Millions of Iranians are bravely taking to the streets demanding freedom.

Proud to join this bipartisan effort condemning the regime’s brutal crackdown and internet blackouts—and standing with the people of Iran in their fight for freedom and democracy.

No one is above the law.

The Clintons were issued a Congressional subpoena to testify in the Epstein investigation—they must comply.

I call on Chairman Comer to also subpoena everyone involved without partisan cherry-picking.

Put survivors over politics.

To compete with China on critical minerals, we must invest in our people.

Proud to lead this bipartisan bill w/ Senators Rosen, Curtis, Kaine, & Scott, and Representatives @bera.house.gov, Huizenga, & Young Kim to strengthen our education and workforce, and to secure our critical minerals future.

The Federal Reserve is independent for a reason: our economy depends on it.

Grateful for Chair Jerome Powell's commitment to protecting the @federalreserve.gov and our democracy.

It's past time to restrict Trump’s war powers in Venezuela.

I spoke with WYPR about legislation I’ll support to do just that—Congress must have a say before the President can take further military action. We need transparency, answers, and accountability as we debate our role in the region.

🚨 The full Epstein files are 24 days overdue—DOJ is breaking federal law.

Where are the files? Survivors deserve justice, not a cover-up.

The Trump Administration should not put US troops in harm's way to make oil execs richer. It's wrong.
