SCOTUS’ extreme Dobbs decision has far-reaching negative impacts across the country, including on the medical education of OBGYNs & the quality of care they’ll be able to provide. House Democrats are fighting to ensure access to comprehensive reproductive health care for all.

Last year, Rep. Jamie Raskin & I warned betting on elections could undermine trust in our democratic institutions & further incentivize dark money in politics. Today, I joined my colleagues in support of CFTC's proposed rule to ban betting on election outcomes. sarbanes.house.gov/media-center/p…

PJM’s lack of planning is keeping MD’s Brandon Shores coal plant open until at least 2028 and continuing to burden communities with pollution. Senator Chris Van Hollen and I are urging PJM Interconnection to expedite this timeline and improve future planning. sarbanes.house.gov/media-center/p…

Two years ago, Democrats enacted the #InflationReductionAct to hold Big Pharma accountable and lower costs for Americans. Now, seniors are spending less on prescriptions and individuals with marketplace coverage are saving on premiums. Let's build on this historic progress.

On this day 61 years ago, over 200,000 people marched alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to call for an end to segregation and demand civil rights for all. The fight is not over – we must continue working to advance economic opportunity and protect the #FreedomToVote.

I appreciate the work of IRSnews to expand the successful Direct File program across the country. Starting in 2025, Marylanders will be able to use this new tool and experience a smoother, more affordable tax season.
