Hey there!

I don’t want to eat up too much of your time on this busy Wednesday, so I’ll get straight to the point:

I’ve had a busy summer on Capitol Hill, cosponsoring legislation, tackling serious challenges, and finding ways to support Marylanders from every walk of life. 

Without further ado, here are 10 problems I’m addressing in the U.S. Senate, and 12 pieces of legislation I’ve put forth or cosponsored to solve them!

1. Keeping our communities safe with the Strong Communities Act, which would reward law enforcement officers who work in the communities where they live.
2. Improving affordable housing with the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative Act, which would redevelop crumbling affordable housing and surrounding communities.
3. Investing in women’s health with the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Uterine Fibroids Research and Education Act and the Uterine Cancer Study Act, which would invest in scientific research and medical training to better treat women’s health issues. 
4. Holding leaders accountable with the Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act, which would ban lawmakers and immediate family members from actively trading stocks while in office.
5. Caring for first responders with the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act, which would ensure first responders who suffer service-related cancers get the benefits they need.
6. Protecting domestic violence survivors with the Strengthening Protections for Domestic Violence and Stalking Survivors Act, which would ban stalkers and abusive dating partners from buying or owning guns.
7. Supporting military families with the Improving Access to Prenatal Care for Military Families Act which would guarantee access to high-quality reproductive care.
8. Closing dangerous gun loopholes with the Background Check Completion Act, which would close a legal loophole allowing gun purchases without a background check. 
9. Defending equality with the Refund Equality Act and Equal Dignity for Married Taxpayers Act, which would ensure same-sex spouses can enjoy the same tax benefits as opposite-sex couples. 
10. Uplifting Black women with the Black Women's Equal Pay Day Resolution, which brings much-needed attention to the wage disparities faced by Black women in America.

Folks, these issues aren't necessarily the kind that grab headlines, but they have an enormous impact on our communities. They matter to Marylanders, so they matter to me. 

Far-right forces are trying to shut down this important work, so I’m turning to you. Will you take a moment to chip in just $5, $10, whatever you can, to help me deliver solutions for the hardworking people of Maryland?

Together,
