🚨 It’s official — I am seeking re-election to the US Congress to continue the fight to lower costs while promoting decency and democracy.

Rather than lowering costs for you, Trump is busy cozying up on dictators.
But there’s good news: Americans get their say in just a few weeks.
If the president wants to lower costs, he should end the war with Iran.
Instead, he’s making deals with Putin while Russia continues its war against Ukraine.

Another morning canvass in the books, helping to get out the vote for Kelli McClelland, Shawn McIntosh and the District 11 Team in north Baltimore County! Let’s finish strong and do everything we can to elect thoughtful leaders up and down the ballot.
President Trump is choosing a dictator over democracy.
Question: What would suspending Intel sharing or weapons purchases mean for Ukraine's defense?
@RepJohnnyO: “Those suspensions would cripple the ability for Ukrainians to defend themselves. And I have to say…this is an administration that seems to consistently choose Russia over Ukraine.”
Fantastic morning knocking doors with Baltimore County Council candidate Arkia Wade and other Democrats! We’re connecting with voters and building momentum for candidates who will deliver real results. Election Day is just around the corner — let’s finish strong! 💙🗳️💪
Marylanders: make your voice heard. The deadline to request a mail-in ballot for the upcoming general election is October 27. Visit voterservices.elections.mary… to request yours today!
Last night, we celebrated the @BaltCoDemParty and the incredible candidates running for office at every level. Thanks to the Committee members who put themselves out there, step up to serve, and work every day to get Democrats elected up and down the ballot!
The Trump family corruption knows no bounds. All the while, hardworking Americans suffer.

President Trump would be wise to remember the golden rule here: treat others as you wish to be treated.
Over the weekend, President Trump gave out GOP Sen. Tom Cotton's cell phone number, blaming him for holding up a bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. He urged people to call Cotton, who remains opposed to the bill. Trump is pushing for senators to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, which the House passed in July.
"I actually agree with the president on the policy here," Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-Maryland), who voted for the bill in the House, told me. "But I can't imagine a scenario where the president would be okay with people handing out his own cell phone number for people to have a public pressure campaign."
So a full banning of stock trading by government officials should be an easy first act in the new Congress, right?

Happy World Teachers' Day! As a former public school teacher, I know firsthand how demanding this profession is. That's why I introduced the REFRESH Act with @RepShontelBrown to address educator burnout, mental health, and retention. True teacher appreciation requires action.

Two simple ways to lower costs:
❌ End the war with Iran.
❌ Repeal the tariffs.
Americans are paying thousands more under Trump.
Remember when Trump criticized Kristi Noem’s tax-funded cowgirl ads? Now he’s doing the same thing.
A hypocrite using your hard-earned money to promote himself while you struggle to pay for gas and groceries.
He simply does not care about you.

Thanks to @wcdccmd for having me at its annual BBQ in Boonsboro last night! Great food, great energy and great candidates making the case for Democratic values where it’s not always easy. Let’s fight and let’s win!

All the Orioles have to do is win tonight and then sweep the Yankees this weekend and have the White Sox lose their final five games and have the Rangers lose at least three of their final five games and suddenly BIG BANG BONG the Orioles are playoff-bound, baby!

This is unconscionable.
The president has already been abusing the pardon power—now he’s trying to dodge accountability.
The records must be restored, and we must pass my Pardon Integrity Act to rein in this abuse once and for all.
All Trump pardons have been scrubbed from the @TheJusticeDept website:

In 2022, my colleague called a move to suspend the gas tax a “stunt” to distract from a “self-inflicted” crisis.
We need to address the cost of living crisis, and we can lower the cost of gas, groceries and more by ending the war in Iran and the Trump tariffs.
