Ellicott City is a proud, tenacious community. With this new funding, the North Tunnel will help to achieve @HoCoGovExec’s Ellicott City Safe and Sound plan and reduce flooding, protect residents and businesses and preserve the history of this town for years to come.
I am grateful for the partnership of @RepSarbanes , @EPAwater Assistant Administrator Radhika Fox, @MDEnvironment Secretary Ben Grumbles, @katiefryhester, @courtneywatson1, @ClarenceLamMD, & our entire County delegation - making sure we can bring these projects to completion.
We must build climate resilience for communities like Ellicott City, which has faced severe flooding due to climate change. I was pleased to join in announcing $75 million to construct the North Tunnel, a critical part of flood mitigation plans.

It is inhumane to choose inaction as communities are shattered by gun violence. It is symptomatic of a democracy in disrepair that there could possibly be a choice.

More evidence about the power of Early Voting - at Preakness and for ballot access across the country!

While Americans pay higher prices at the pump, oil and gas companies are reaping record profits. Today, I voted to crack down on unpatriotic, predatory fuel price gouging and bring transparency to the market. We must lower gas prices for families – they’ve had enough.
I'm pleased that @POTUS has continued to act on the infant formula shortage by invoking the Defense Production Act and strengthening our supply chain. Alongside the legislation I supported in the House yesterday, this a big step to address the shortage and #FeedOurInfants.
I’m taking two new steps to increase baby formula supply:
- Invoking the Defense Production Act to increase domestic production
- Launching Operation Fly Formula to use federal planes to fly formula in from abroad
We're making sure safe formula gets to all who need it.
School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) provide access to affordable health care and vital preventative services for students in Maryland and across the country. I’m proud to lead the effort in Congress to strengthen SBHCs and keep our kids healthy.

I am pleased that @EnergyCommerce advanced my legislation to reauthorize critical mental and behavioral health programs for children and adolescents. This will help young Americans and their families through the mental health and substance use crisis exacerbated by #COVID19.
Americans should not live in fear of violence fueled by hate, racism and anti-Semitism. I voted to provide new resources to prevent, investigate and prosecute domestic terrorism.
🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: The House has PASSED H.R. 350, the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act.
With rising prices putting a real strain on Marylanders, I’m glad that Democrats and Republicans came together to pass a federal budget bill that will help lower the cost of living for families. See my latest #SarbanesStandard for a legislative update:
