Happy #MothersDay to all the moms out there! Today, I thank my mom and my wife, June, for all they've done to support me and my kids. In good times and in bad, our moms are the ones we turn to, and today we show our gratitude for the selfless sacrifices they've made for us.

As a member of House Appropriations Democrats, I was proud to secure $698,083 in the FY23 funding package for Frederick County's Crisis Stabilization Center. Funding will be used to purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment, providing Marylanders in crisis with the care they need and deserve.

I stopped by AHCMC's Summit today to discuss the need to expand affordable housing. Nearly half of Americans say the lack of affordable housing in their community is a major problem. In Congress, I will always fight to ensure housing is treated like the human right it is.

To kick off Mental Health Awareness Month, I introduced the Occupational Therapy and Mental Health Parity Act with Congressman Zach Nunn. This legislation will boost access to OT, improving the quality of life for folks with mental illness. It's just common sense.
