Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 01/10/2026President Trump’s vanity projects are expected to cost taxpayers more than $1.8 billion with no actual benefit for the American people. Here’s what else this money could have funded: 043
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 29/09/2026Especially during these unprecedented times, our houses of worship give so many a space for hope, peace, and acceptance. I’ll continue fighting to ensure Marylanders of all faiths can be safe and feel safe in their houses of worship. 030
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 29/09/2026We hosted our very first #MD03 Interfaith Youth Day in Washington, which brought together Baha'i, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim youth from every corner of the District to Washington to connect and engage in our democratic process. 130
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 29/09/2026After our Interfaith Advisory Council, it was clear we needed to convene not only our faith leaders – but also young people – to be part of the conversation on how we can support our neighbors of all faiths. 241

Thank you again to all our incredible #TeamMaryland partners who made this fair possible and to the hundreds of neighbors who joined us. 100
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 29/09/2026That’s why I’ve joined @rephuffman.bsky.social in demanding answers from Secretary Burgum on these reported plans to cede our public lands for massive data center projects because these spaces belong to the people, not AI executives. 080
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 29/09/2026NEW: The Trump Administration is considering handing over 17,000+ acres of public land across six states to build dozens of data centers. Over the past 21 months, we’ve seen unprecedented attempts by this Administration to politicize, privatize, & profit off our public lands & this is no exception. 11614
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 29/09/2026To write the future of the Port of Baltimore, we will be taking inspiration from what once was – back to the Baltimore clippers and the hundreds of Liberty ships built during World War II. Because it is time for Maryland to lead in shipbuilding and maritime manufacturing once again. 040
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 29/09/2026We sat down with the Maryland Port Administration, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, ILA Local 333, Ports America Chesapeake, and Tradepoint Atlantic to strategize how we can reinvest in our shipbuilding and maritime workforce for our national security and economy. 140
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 29/09/2026The President’s ongoing, illegal war in Iran is now driving up the cost to ship everything, which directly impacts our port and our economy. But Team Maryland will be able to overcome that. 140
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 29/09/2026The Port of Baltimore has been able to survive ups and downs of the economy for over 100 years. Now, the President’s economic strategy that prioritizes tariffs over jobs is adding additional hardship. 151
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 28/09/2026In fact, Speaker Johnson has cancelled nearly a month's worth of votes this year alone. But what does that mean for our neighbors back in #MD03? Learn more in today’s edition of Sarah Explains It All ⬆️ 110
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 28/09/2026You’ve probably seen in the news that Speaker Johnson has cancelled the remaining voting days for September – leaving us scattered across the country and unable to work on your behalf in Washington for seven whole weeks. 220
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 27/09/2026We must come together – regardless of political party – and bring this war to an end. 030
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 27/09/2026Since February, House Democrats have been calling for an end to President Trump’s illegal and costly war of choice in Iran. The consequences are undeniable: 22 American servicemembers lost, costs skyrocketing for families back home, and over 7 months of fighting. 183
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 27/09/2026Marylanders of all faiths deserve to both be safe and feel safe in their houses of worship. That’s why I’m proud to join #TeamMaryland in delivering over $8 million in federal funding to increase security for nearly 50 places of worship across our state. 040

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 25/09/2026While Congress took a critical step toward lowering housing costs with the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act, we need to keep funding innovative solutions to put the dream of homeownership back within reach for hardworking families. 020
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 25/09/2026The cost of buying a home is out of reach for too many Americans. This week I joined the Manufactured Housing Institute to tour newly manufactured affordable homes and discuss the importance of investing in new solutions to address the housing crisis. 130
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 24/09/2026It also shouldn’t have to be said that we deserve a Pentagon that is forthright with the American people. I fully support legislation to prevent the DoD from manipulating government data on troop casualties. It is a bare minimum standard of transparency after losing American lives. 050
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 24/09/2026We have now lost 22 brave American servicemembers in the Middle East during President Trump’s war in Iran.

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 24/09/2026If you watch the House Floor on C-SPAN like my mom, you might see Members of Congress ‘managing the floor.’ But what the heck does that actually mean, and why does it matter? I’ll be demystifying one bit of floor procedure in today’s episode of Sarah Explains It All! 020

Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 20/09/2026Over the past 21 months, we’ve seen this Administration attack our brave and selfless LGBTQ+ troops. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee and @equality.house.gov, I will continue fighting for the rights of all those who just want to serve our country. We will not go back. 032
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 20/09/2026Today marks 15 years since the end of the U.S. military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. The end of this policy allowed LGBTQ+ servicemembers to serve openly, but that was not before thousands of servicemembers were wrongfully discharged for simply being who they were. 130
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 19/09/2026We need to be here in Washington, working towards meaningful regulations for this technology – it’s what our constituents elected us to do. 020
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 19/09/2026That’s why I've joined @liccardo.house.gov in urging Speaker Johnson to reconvene the House and advance meaningful, bipartisan AI safeguards. AI isn’t slowing down, and neither should Congress. 110
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth @elfreth.house.gov · 19/09/2026Congress has an obligation to those we serve to tackle the most urgent and complex problems facing our nation and world. Instead of doing that with AI, the Speaker canceled votes and sent us home two weeks early. 241
