📢Maryland – with just 20 days to go until Primary Election Day, my team and I are knocking on doors, calling our neighbors, and talking to voters about the importance of this election as we get out the vote for our state and local partners. It’s never too late to make a plan to vote – or to join us on the campaign trail! Visit the link below to get in touch with our team.

Eight years ago, @DelBartlett32 and I were freshman legislators in the Maryland State House. Last week, I was proud to stand alongside House Speaker @JPenaMelnyk and Sandy’s district-mate Delegate @marksoochang in highlighting all of the progress she has made since then. In this last year alone, as Chair of the Judiciary Committee, Sandy spearheaded the end of 287g agreements and the passing of the Community Trust Act, generational reforms to our juvenile justice system, strengthened guardrails of our foster care programs, and much more.

It was a beautiful evening in North Laurel celebrating Howard County Councilwoman and my dear friend, @christianarigby, for re-election! Christiana is a work horse, which is why I’ve been lucky to have her as a partner in legislating, delivering for our constituents, and bringing funding back home to the Third – including federal funding for pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements to Guilford Road. The chaos in Washington makes it more important than ever to have incredibly talented, dedicated folks at the local level like Christiana delivering for our communities. Howard County is fortunate to have Christiana – and right now – her leadership and grit are needed more than ever.

It’s never too early to make a plan to vote. While Maryland still has same day voter registration, Tuesday, June 2nd, is the last day to register to vote by mail or online. You can check your status or start a new registration here at the link below. I’ve always believed that our government works best when more people are at the table. Making sure your registration is current is the first step in making that happen.

You may have also seen that there was a vendor error with select Maryland ballots. If you are voting by mail and receive a second ballot that says "REPLACEMENT BALLOT," please make sure to fill out that ballot. For more information on replacement ballots, please call 410-269-2840 or email [email protected].

Maryland, the Primary Election is just 30 days away. On the 250th anniversary of our nation, I’m reminded of the one important principle our nation was founded upon: participation. The radical notion of self-determination meant that We the People could decide the future of our country. And even on our hardest days, the path forward requires more participation – not less. If you haven’t already, make a plan to vote and make your voice heard:

Delegate @MarkSooChang has been serving the people of Glen Burnie and North County for over a decade in the Maryland General Assembly – making sure our laws match our values. On the powerful Appropriations Committee, Mark has been trusted to balance the State’s budget – and he’s also brought home tens of millions back to his community. I was lucky to have him as a legislative partner in the State House for six years, and today, I am proud to work closely with him to deliver for our shared constituents. I am supporting Mark in this campaign to succeed the unmatched Chair @PamelaBeidle because I know the Senate of Maryland – and our State – will be a better place with Mark Chang as the Senator from District 32.

I’ve spent the last few weeks on the road for our "Doors for Democracy Tour." We’ve been criss-crossing the Third to support 24 of our partner candidates – ensuring we’re building a team of results-oriented leaders at every level of government. A huge thank you to each and every volunteer who stepped up to join us on the doors!

Here’s what we accomplished:
🧑‍ 3,270 Voters Contacted
🚪2,415 Doors Knocked
🙋‍♂️215 Volunteers Engaged
🤝24 Partner Candidates Supported
📍5 Stops Across 3 Counties

We have 32 days until the Primary Election. I’m not slowing down, and I know you won’t either.

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

Criss-crossing the Third District, I hear one clear message: we need fighters at the federal, state, and local levels to take on the tough issues and mitigate the harms of this Administration. I am proud to stand alongside partners like @SenatorDawnGile, Delegate Heather Bagnall, and @allison_pickard – three women who have spent their careers building coalitions and meeting this moment. Experience matters when so much is on the line, and that’s why I am so proud to serve with these advocates for Anne Arundel County and Maryland and support their campaigns. Come join us Saturday, May 30th at 2:00 pm to knock doors and continue the conversations that will move us forward. https://t.co/6z6aBinT0Z

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

We couldn’t have asked for better weather on Saturday as we hit hundreds of doors for our next Howard County Executive, @VAtterbeary. I was proud to join her, dozens of volunteers, and our brothers and sisters in labor in Laurel to talk about our “why”s this election cycle – we heard everything from tackling rising costs, to protecting science, to funding our world class educational system in Howard County. We know Delegate Atterbeary is ready for these fights ahead - which is why I am excited to back her in this race.

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

This spring marks 22 years of the Western Maryland Democratic Summit – a proud tradition for organizers in Mountain Maryland and our State Party. I joined them once again in Hagerstown to talk about the critical work being done up and down the ballot here in our home state, but also the work ahead of November in Virginia and Pennsylvania. It has been a privilege to represent Carroll County – a small sliver of Western Maryland – in the House! I am thrilled to support the strong women serving and running to represent this dynamic part of our state: Corynne Courpas, Megan Foelber, @April4Congress, @jessfitzwater, and so many more!

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

.@Wu4Delegate has honorably served Howard County, and I have been proud to call him a friend and partner. Harmful stereotypes, false accusations, and mocking are always beneath the dignity of public office. Diversity of experience, thought, and background has always been – and always will be – what makes our state great. We can and must have honest debates on the merits of policy without resorting to xenophobic and racist tactics. I urge the Delegates to take full responsibility for their actions, pull down these remarks, and issue a sincere apology to Delegate Wu and the people of Maryland. https://t.co/piUWFKCOej

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

From our time working together at the State House, I’ve known @VAtterbeary to be a stalwart fighter for Maryland families, and I have no doubt she will be ready on day one to lead Howard County on the issues that matter – lowering our costs, protecting our immigrant neighbors, strengthening our schools, and so much more. I’m proud to be standing behind Vanessa in her campaign for County Executive, and I hope you’ll join us this Saturday, May 16th at 12:00 p.m. to talk about what’s on the line in this race and kick off an afternoon of canvassing in Howard County. https://t.co/gZFFDHrey8

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

This year, we plan on flipping seats from red to blue across the country and Team Elfreth is committed to putting in the work – from House seats in Pennsylvania to state and local seats right here in the Third District. Come join us!

Our Doors for Democracy Tour continued this weekend into Carroll County! ➡️ We had dozens of volunteers come out to knock 250+ doors in Sykesville for Megan Foelber for the Carroll County Board of Commissioners.

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

Megan is one of thousands of civil servants in Maryland who came under the attack of DOGE – but she hasn’t lost her calling for public service.

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

They are the cornerstone of our work to build a better future for Maryland — the mentors, counselors, & steady hand guiding our children to success.

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

This National Teacher Appreciation Week, I’m honored to announce that @NEAToday has officially endorsed our campaign! 🍎

I’m a very proud product of public schools.

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

My parents were both civil servants who taught me that supporting teachers is the “rising tide”— when we invest in our educators, everyone else rises too.

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

Southern Maryland, Prince George’s County, and South Anne Arundel County are losing a stalwart champion in Congress with the retirement of Leader @StenyHoyer. Our neighbors continue to deserve a leader who will stand up, fight, and deliver real legislative wins. That’s why I was proud to endorse Delegate @AdrianBoafoMD in this race because experience, proven work ethic, and the ability to bring people together matter. Adrian has been serving his community on the Bowie City Council and the House of Delegates and will be the addition Team Maryland needs to continue punching above our weight. From representing our military installations and Maryland veterans to lowering costs for working families and stewarding our state’s natural resources, he is the partner this moment requires. I was thrilled to stand next to Leader Steny Hoyer, Senator @PamelaBeidle, Senator @SenatorDawnGile, Delegate @marksoochang, @delegate_dylan, and Yvette Lewis last Friday to show our support for Adrian!
