The Voting Rights Act was won by generations who believed in democracy and refused to sit out.   Even in moments of uncertainty, people still have the power to create change. Young people have always driven movements that pushed this country forward.   Now it’s our turn to protect voting rights and keep moving forward together.

Visited UCAP’s headquarters in PG to see firsthand the important work they’re doing to support residents across our community. Their efforts in workforce development, financial stability, and family support are making a real difference for people throughout Maryland’s Fourth District.

The house is on fire. Black voting power is under threat. SCOTUS gutted key #VRA protections, opening the door for lawmakers across the country to draw maps that dilute and erase the voices of Black voters and other communities of color. We will not go back. https://t.co/mzSOtGnSam

Yesterday, I joined @GovWesMoore and state and local leaders to celebrate a major Purple Line milestone with the installation of the final piece of track along the 16-mile corridor. This project will better connect our communities, expand opportunity, and strengthen transit across Maryland.

House Democrats will keep pressing the Trump administration to follow the rule of law and avoid dragging this country into another endless quagmire.   You can’t claim there’s a “ceasefire” while troops and ships remain deployed in the region, then turn around overnight and threaten to restart the war, and now once again say the war will "be over quickly".    Our servicemembers should never be put in harm’s way without a clear strategy, clear direction, and accountability.

Spent time last week with students at Elizabeth Seton Law Academy’s Senior Capstone event. After two years of hard work, students presented projects tackling real legal issues, from criminal justice to immigration and environmental protections. It was great to see their ideas come to life and hear how passionately they engaged with these topics. Proud of these young leaders and the future they’re building.

Over the last week, I spent time with some of the brightest young leaders in our community.   From Roosevelt and Flowers High School to 100 Black Men of Greater Washington, one thing is clear: the future of PG County is in good hands.   Their leadership and commitment to service will keep our community moving forward.

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is a time to recognize the rich cultures and lasting contributions of AAPI communities across our country. From small businesses to science, public service to the arts, AAPI voices continue to shape the story of America. This month and every month, we celebrate that impact, uplift our communities, and ensure every voice is seen and heard.

Today, Congress passed a bill to reopen DHS after House Republicans kept the department shut down for more than 70 days, cutting off funding for FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard, and other critical services. In the end, they backed down without delivering any results.   This never should have happened. Public safety should not be used as leverage in political games, and families should not be forced to pay the price for dysfunction in Washington. Enough is enough.

Appreciated the opportunity to join the CBA Hill Talk Series for a conversation on leadership, career growth, and public service. Grateful for the chance to share my insights and learn from the next generation of leaders on the Hill. https://t.co/XIBjPsidpf
