06/16/2022 Tweet - "The #LowerFoodandFuelCosts bill is a positive step towards decreasing the cost of necessary goods like fuel and food for the American people. I urge my colleagues on both side of the aisle to vote yes and show our constituents that Congress is working together on their behalf."
01/07/2022 Tweet - "Thanks to the Dem-lead #AmericanRescuePlan, MD will receive $143.4 million for home energy assistance. This funding will help struggling families in MD cover the costs of home heating and prevent devastating shut-offs this winter season."

06/15/2021 Tweet - "Glad that California-Lexington Park metro area was named one of our nation's top small cities for ENERGY STAR certified buildings by @EPA. I'm proud our region is making strides to use less energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions."

09/15/2020 Tweet - "I look forward to bringing the Clean Economy Jobs & Innovation Act to the Floor next week, which fulfills House Dems' promise to make America a global leader in clean energy. I thank @EnergyCommerce, @HouseScience, & @NRDems for their work on this bill."
09/11/2019 Tweet - "Proud to bring 3 bills to the Floor that block oil and gas drilling in #ANWR, the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, and the Gulf of Mexico. Instead of doubling down on fossil fuels, we must #ProtectOurCoasts and arctic ecosystems, #ActOnClimate, & develop clean energy technologies."
09/10/2019 Tweet - "Today, @HouseSmallBiz is looking at expanding the role of small businesses within the clean energy economy.

08/29/2019 Tweet - "I urge the Admin to stop its roll back of common-sense policies to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas wells. Even oil companies oppose this effort to gut public health and environmental protections. @POTUS must put the health of Americans first."
03/15/2019 Tweet - "Once again the Trump Administration is putting the interests of corporate oil and gas ahead of conservation of sensitive habitat and species at risk of extinction. Congress ought to review how this decision was made. https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/03/15/politics/sage-grouse-final-rule-trump/index.html …"
02/05/2019 Tweet - "Tonight, @realDonaldTrump is misleading the American people about workers' wages in his #SOTU address. The reality is that wages grew at the slowest rate in over a year -- that's AFTER the #GOPTaxScam was signed into law -- in the last jobs report."
08/02/2018 Tweet - "The Trump Admin's announcement today shows they are playing dangerous, partisan games with our nation's energy security. This freeze of fuel economy standards will lead to consumers paying more at the pump & stifling of innovation in the auto industry."

03/06/2018 Tweet - "Opening up MD's coast to new oil & gas drilling would threaten businesses & communities along our shoreline. I agree w @SecretaryZinke -- state & local jurisdictions should have a say when it comes to drilling, which MD overwhelmingly opposes. http://bit.ly/2D54ME9"
