Maryland, what a journey it has been! I could not be more grateful for the trust you have placed in me over the years to be your voice in the State Senate and for the last two years in Congress. Thanks to your support and dedication, we’re headed into a Democratic majority that’s ready to work on your behalf.

One of last night’s biggest losers: Elon Musk. For all the hell you wrought on hardworking federal workers, Maryland, and the Third District, your reign of terror is over. Democracy is alive and it’s not for sale. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

After a long night, it’s a “no makeup” kind of day. But, I wanted to come on here to share how I’m feeling and where we go from here. From the bottom of my heart: thank you.

Ten years ago, I woke up the morning after Election Day 2016 and made a promise to myself that I would never again wake up the morning after an election wishing that I had done more. Ten years later, we’re waking up to a blue wave because of your steadfast grit and effort. With the House and Senate majorities, we now have the tools to lower costs, expand access to health care, deliver for families back home AND have the gavels and subpoena powers to place a meaningful check on the reckless abuses of this Administration. Let’s do this.

Thank you, MD-03! I could not be more grateful for the faith you have placed in me to once again be your voice in Congress. 

Your support fueled our ground operation, kept our organizers on the doors, and ensured we could cut through the partisan noise to speak directly with voters. But more than that, your belief in this work reminds me why we step up to serve in the first place: to solve real problems, deliver results, and be a voice for our community on its hardest days.

I have spent the last 22 months fighting tirelessly everywhere I could on behalf of families in our District – and I promise to keep that same fight going forward. There are many more races to be called at the local and national level that will determine what the next two years will look like – but I promise you will always have my full effort and my full gratitude. The work of planning for a Congress that decisively delivers for the American people begins tomorrow. From the bottom of my heart: thank you.
