Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth

Maryland is home to more than 600,000 small businesses – creating jobs for more than a million Marylanders, all while fueling innovation and strengthening our communities. Today, I’ll be stopping by some of my favorite shops in Howard County, but we can all do our part! This…

Our virtual town hall with @RepJohnnyO is coming up on Monday at 7:30 PM! We’re only a few days away, so be sure to RSVP and submit your questions at the link below – hope to see you there! eventbrite.com/e/virtual-town…

On today’s edition of Thrifted and Gifted from the Third, I wanted to highlight not only a dear friend and mentor of mine, but a powerhouse of public service: Former Howard County Councilman Dr. C. Vernon Gray. As the first African American ever elected to the Howard County…

From my table to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂This year, I’m thankful for my family, friends, and team – but most importantly – I’m grateful for the honor of representing you and your family in the halls of Congress. It’s been an oftentimes chaotic whirlwind of a year, but it’s…

”Better is good.” Everyone in our office has a small green card on their desks with a printed list of values and objectives to get us through hard days. It’s a tradition I adopted from my mentor, Senator Barbara Mikulski, with some of her idioms including “we can’t guarantee an…

Just as Congresswoman Greene joined Democrats to force a vote to release the Epstein files, she is welcome to join our discharge petition to force a vote on extending the ACA tax credits. At the end of the day, the American people elected us to be the adults in the room and get…

Symbols of horrible violence, antisemitism, and racism like swastikas and nooses are not “potentially divisive” – they are clear symbols of hate. Yet, our Coast Guard wanted to reclassify these hateful symbols. While the USCG has since announced an updated policy, this change…

In this country, the President doesn’t dictate who goes to jail. If a servicemember follows illegal orders, they are the ones being held legally liable – not President Trump. My colleagues all made an oath to uphold the Constitution and served in uniform faithfully. The…

Some good news: President Trump’s unlawful reductions in force during the government shutdown have officially been reversed. This means more than 3,600 federal employees – serving in agencies from the Department of Health and Human Services to Homeland Security and the IRS – can…

Having dedicated the majority of my career to preserving the Chesapeake Bay, I know the hours of tireless negotiation and deliberation that went into the “Beyond 2025” watershed agreement to guide the next decade of collaboration. I’m grateful to Secretary Josh Kurtz, Secretary…

Protecting our Veterans’ Affairs employees and their rights means they can continue delivering the highest quality of care possible to our veterans. President Trump’s unlawful executive order eliminating nearly 80% of union contracts for VA employees not only harms our federal…

We should not be fueling our enemies. American energy is a critical resource, but rather than addressing existing loopholes in oversight, House Republicans have put forward legislation that would allow the sale of liquified natural gas directly to our foreign adversaries. We…

With the holidays around the corner, Americans are feeling the effects of the Administration’s reckless economic policies, which are driving up the cost of groceries, utilities, health care, housing, and more. Hardworking Americans deserve more than to just get by, they should be…

For decades, China has engaged in unfair trade practices harming the American shipbuilding industry and manufacturing jobs. Instead of supporting our American companies and standing up to China like he promised, President Trump announced he would pause actions that crack down on…

What the heck is a discharge petition?? With the vote on the Epstein files this week and now House Democrats continuing to fight for a vote on the ACA tax credits, you’ve likely heard a lot of talk about the discharge petition. It’s one of the few tools we have in the minority to…

Chase Brexton has been at the forefront of providing high-quality care to our communities since 1978 – starting as one of the first clinics on the frontlines of fighting the HIV crisis in the 1980s to now serving over 50,000 Marylanders today. I’ve seen it firsthand – meeting…

This past weekend, Howard County lost a giant in innovation, education, and public service: Dr. Edward Cochran, Jr. Former County Executive Cochran was not only a pioneer in science as a chemist by trade, but within the community – working to end segregation in schools, helping…

Let’s be clear: the President is violently threatening my colleagues who have served their country honorably in uniform over an online video he disagrees with. Dangerous rhetoric must be condemned unequivocally and in all forms – regardless of who incites it. I echo the words of…

The victims of Jeffrey Epstein have been denied justice for far too long. Thank you to all the survivors who courageously shared their stories to make this moment possible. I’m so grateful my colleagues and I could come together to not only honor the survivors, but vote in both…
