It's primary day in Maryland! I spoke with @thehill about the Senate race and the need for Democrats to stay united to keep this crucial seat blue:

Ahead of today’s 51st anniversary of #RoeVWade, I spoke w/ @AlexGangitano@thehill about how the fight over abortion and women’s access to care will drive voters to the polls this year: https://t.co/I7WmIgcUnW
I shared some thoughts on President Biden's trip to MN today: "This visit will be an opportunity for Biden to showcase his connection to voters in the state and buttress arguments that he is strongly positioned to once again build a winning coalition." https://t.co/NdSEzpTOA4
if "American politics" were broken, we'd have seen things like this happen when Democrats controlled the House
but we didn't
what's broken, very specifically, is the Republican Party
The @dccc and @SuzanDelBene made a fantastic choice - there is no one smarter or savvier than @jmerzie. House Dems are in EXCELLENT hands! https://t.co/uMxCitOFjw
For 16 years I had the privilege of watching @SpeakerPelosi and @LeaderHoyer work together to pass transformative legislation for the people. They are both masters of the legislative process, and together they have been a formidable team. Grateful for their leadership & service.
.@LeaderHoyer has dedicated his life to public service, and he has made our nation a better place as a result. He is a true statesman who has provided steady, responsible leadership. He kept House Democrats united and was able to work effectively across the aisle when possible.
I have decided not to seek elected leadership in the 118th Congress – it is time for me to continue my service in a different role. I intend to return to the Appropriations Committee to continue my work focusing on education, health care, and our workers. https://t.co/2i57axC5nf
And of course I have to mention his dedication to helping people #MakeItInAmerica – for over a decade, he has relentlessly focused on promoting policies that revived America’s manufacturing sector and helped expand economic opportunities for all Americans.
He cares deeply about the institution of the House and the strength of our democracy. He’s a Member’s Member and an advocate for staff. He has led the way in adopting technology to make the House more open and transparent. (my fav: Dome Watch!)
Dems – and some Republicans – are keeping abortion at the top of voters’ minds heading into November. I shared my take on that strategy with @AlexGangitano@thehill – check it out here:

Democrats got a lot of big things done this summer. I shared some thoughts with @AlexGangitano@thehill on how they should talk to voters about these accomplishments ahead of the midterm elections this Fall. https://t.co/0VgkArA927
The policies enacted through the Inflation Reduction Act are important, but so is this: showing Americans that government can work and get things done for them. Glad @POTUS highlighted this point in his @YahooNews op-ed. https://t.co/aMPmSc2hs9
When I return from maternity leave next month, if anyone asks what I’ve been up to, I’ll just send them this gem from @petridishes! I’m 8 weeks in and this is 100% accurate. https://t.co/jyOxQAOyo9
And as the January 6 committee hearings continues to demonstrate, the midterm elections will have an enormous impact on whether we have any future for our constitutional democracy.
