Proud Marylander serving all the people of this state. Progressive fighter committed to getting results.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Honored to have Senator @ewarren and Senator @VanHollenForMD in Michigan to be a part of this movement.

With less than 100 days until the election, the billionaires & big money super PACs want to divide people against one another so we don't focus on how they are rigging the economy & politics for themselves.

When it’s the people vs. the PACs, We, the People must stick together.

[Chris Van Hollen @VanHollenForMD]

We need more fighters in Washington. People willing to take on big money special interests and shake up the status quo.

Abdul El-Sayed is that candidate. 10 days to go, let’s bring this home!

There was never a question that the US military could inflict damage on Iran. The question has been for what purpose.

After yesterday’s hearing it’s even more clear: Trump and Hegseth haven’t got a clue.

We need to end this senseless war NOW.

[Chris Van Hollen @VanHollenForMD]

Over the weekend, 3 more Americans lost their lives to Trump’s Iran war.

The consequences of this war are dire, and it’s clear Trump has no endgame.

When you're digging yourself into a hole, the best way out is to stop digging.

From my time at Swarthmore College joining the movement to end the apartheid in South Africa, I’ve known the power college students can hold if they get involved & demand change.

On Saturday, I joined the College Democrats at their annual convention to thank them for their work & urge them to stay in this fight to shape the party & country they want to see.

[Chris Van Hollen @VanHollenForMD]

It’s not right versus left, it’s the top versus everyone else.

Billionaires and special interests are rigging our economy in their favor & it’s time to pick a side.

I’ll stand with working Americans every time.

[Chris Van Hollen @VanHollenForMD]

Last night, Donald Trump continued his all-out attack on our democracy.

While it’s easy to dismiss, the threat is real: He’s trying to rig our elections and rob Americans of the right to vote.

All of us must stand up to defend our Constitution and our country.

[Chris Van Hollen @VanHollenForMD]

Today is acting AG Blanche’s confirmation hearing.

In May, I said Blanche was acting like Trump’s personal attorney.

Since then, he’s only proven me right as he’s refused to meet with survivors of Epstein’s abuse & used his power to shield Trump.

He is unqualified to be the People’s lawyer.

[Chris Van Hollen @VanHollenForMD]

As hospitals & providers continue consolidating, Americans keep seeing higher costs.

Coupled with Trump & Republicans’ healthcare cuts & refusal to extend ACA tax credits, millions are being priced out of the most basic care.

Corporate profits & politics should never come between you & your health. We need Medicare for All.

[Chris Van Hollen @VanHollenForMD]

While Trump can access the best healthcare in the world, he & Republicans have made affording even the most basic care impossible for millions of Americans.

We need a system that ensures everyone gets the best care we can provide.

We need Medicare for All.

Maryland will not sit on the sidelines as our democracy is attacked & voters’ voices are silenced.

If Republicans refuse to work with us to ban partisan gerrymandering nationwide, then we have no choice but to fight back.

We must use every tool we have to protect our democracy.

Trump’s most recent financial disclosure shows he made $636 MILLION from his family’s crypto scam alone.

But while Trump & his family made money, nearly a million people who put their faith in Trump faced $3.8 BILLION in losses.

And not a peep from Republicans, even as their constituents get scammed. https://t.co/VcOJ24AlF5

250 years ago, Americans rejected the rule of a king.

Our democracy was built in part by great Marylanders who fought in pursuit of a more perfect union.

The Maryland 400. Frederick Douglas. Harriet Tubman. Thurgood Marshall.

Now it’s our turn to continue their important work.

On this 250th anniversary of our country's independence we must remember Ben Franklin's warning, who when asked what they had created said, "a republic, if you can keep it."

It's up to all of us to ensure our nation remains one of, by, and for the people.

Happy Independence Day!

[Chris Van Hollen @VanHollenForMD]

On Monday, SCOTUS green-lit yet another Trump power grab: helping him stack independent agencies with his cronies.

No president, Democrat or Republican, should have this much unchecked power.

We must push back. 250 years ago we said No Kings, and today, we will say the same!

[Chris Van Hollen @VanHollenForMD]

The American people don’t want more money corrupting our democracy. The Supreme Court once again opened the floodgates.

We must win back the Senate, overturn Citizens United, & overhaul our campaign finance system.

Elections are only free & fair if they belong to the voters.

I’m proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community this month and all year.

The Trump admin is set on stripping minorities – from immigrants to LGBTQ+ people – of their rights.

I will never stop fighting to ensure we can ALL live with dignity, liberty, and justice.

[Chris Van Hollen @VanHollenForMD]

We Democrats are the party that fought for workers, for Social Security, for Medicare, and public education. We are the party of FDR, of John Lewis and Good Trouble.

Now more than ever, we must live up to that legacy & continue our fight for the common good.

[Chris Van Hollen @VanHollenForMD]

One of the few truths Trump has said is that he doesn’t think about Americans' financial situation.

This week, he sabotaged a bill to lower housing costs, demanding that first Republicans help him rig the midterms.

To Trump, his power comes first, working people don’t even make the list.
