Our tour highlighted what makes D22 strong: safe spaces for kids, healthy food, reliable transit, and engaged voices at the table. Grateful to work alongside Team 22 and CEX Braveboy.

Nothing beats marching in the 70th Greenbelt Labor Day Parade 🇺🇸💪🏾 A tradition that reminds us of the power of community and the strength of working people who make Maryland and Prince George’s strong! #ThankAUnion

🚨💻 Due to routine IT updates the Maryland General Assembly website along with access to our state emails won’t be available till 9/2/25.

If you’re in need of me or my office during this weekend, we’re still here to serve—you can email ashanti@ashantimartinez.com.

Growing up in Catholic school, every Friday we attended Mass and it was sacred time to be with God. Now even the pews aren’t safe. What happened in Minneapolis is enraging. Children deserve our protection, not empty prayers. Congress must act—end gun violence now.

If we’re a “big tent” party, then we must be clear: anti-war, anti-genocide.

What’s happening in Gaza is devastating and in this moment of crisis, Americans need leadership. DNC can’t just talk. We must act. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

The first day of school is always full of promise. Here’s to a safe, successful, and empowering year for all of our PGCPS students, families, and educators! #FirstDayofSchool

Due Process Defended, Justice Upheld: here’s my statement the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

On Southern HIV Awareness Day, I joined Us Helping Us at their community fish fry to celebrate community and recommit ourselves to ending the HIV epidemic. Here in Maryland as the most northern Southern state—we know this fight is close to home.

This week, I moderated a powerful panel on immigration enforcement and local government at the annual #MACoCon. Thank you to Maryland Association of Counties (MACo) for creating space for this critical conversation.

As Washington, D.C. turns toward cuts, here in Maryland we are doubling down—investing boldly in our people, our communities, and our future.

In every brushstroke and every story shared, there’s healing.

Honored to recognize the young artists of the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System Therapy Through Art program led by Olympic artist Jesse Raudales. These scholars used creativity to foster resilience and hope in our community.

@ivey.house.gov & @ashantimartinez.bsky.social during a Town Hall Meeting re: the impact of "one big beautiful budget bill" on healthcare (Fed $ cuts to Medicaid, SNAP & Medicare). If your elected leaders are as busy as these people, you're fortunate!

From working together as staff in the General Assembly to serving together in the House, it’s an honor to support my friend and Latino Caucus member, Delegate Teresa S. Woorman, for District 16. Her passion and dedication for community inspires me every day!

🚨 Excited to have Sen. Alonzo Washington & Del. Nicole Williams join this important Town Hall commemorating the 60th Anniversary of Medicaid!

60 years of Medicaid. A lifetime of care—now under threat.

Join me & Rep. Glenn Ivey for a town hall on healthcare + the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. 🗓️ 7/30 | ⏰ 10AM–12PM | 📍Greenbelt, MD

I’ve introduced legislation two years in a row to tax Big Tech and use the money to fund youth mental health services in Maryland. Now, Harford County is taking Meta, TikTok, and others to court over the harm they’ve caused our kids.

I fully support their efforts. t.co/a3wjeL2BCF

From the heart of Greenbelt to the trails of our national park celebrating Pride and planet this weekend in District 22! 🌈🌳

Honored to attend Greenbelt Pride Festival, and to join the Prince George’s County Sierra Club for their gathering in Greenbelt National Park.

Letter from Sens. Durbin and Van Hollen to AG Pam Bondi.

The longer they wait to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, the more it seems like they're hiding something.

Today @durbin.senate.gov and I sent a letter to AG Pam Bondi calling for the immediate release of the Epstein files — in line with our bipartisan, unanimously-approved amendment⬇️

When Auntie Maxine speaks, we listen! Grateful to talk crypto, community, and collaboration with a living legend during #NBCSLonTheHill.

Greenbelt Earned It. We’re Defending It. Thank you Senator Chris Van Hollen.

Last Christian town in West Bank attacked by Israelis, church leaders appeal to world for help | ICN A 5th century church and an ancient Christian cemetery were badly vandalised by Israeli 'settlers' in the last Christian town in the ...

Amb. Huckabee told me during his confirmation process that he cared about Christians in the Holy Land.
 
So, Amb. Huckabee, I ask: What are you doing to get the Netanyahu government to stop these attacks and hold perpetrators accountable?

Proud to have earned it!

District 22! It includes Riverdale, Lanham, New Carrollton, Hyattsville, University Park, Edmonston, Berwyn Heights, Riverdale Park and Greenbelt.

I’m in Prince George’s County, Maryland and I’m running for re-election to the Maryland House of Delegates.

CPAC gave me a 0%. I’ll take that as a 100% for the people I fight for.

Kilmar deserves a fair trial here, in the community he calls home. Due process isn’t optional—it’s a constitutional right. I stand with Kilmar. #JusticeForKilmar

This bill isn’t beautiful — it’s dangerous. Pick up the phone. Tell Congress: NO on the Big Bullshit Bill.

Statement from the Maryland Legislative Latino Caucus on Supreme Court Ruling Related to Birthright Citizenship

Congratulations @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

It’s so comforting to know that smart, young, hardworking, progressive candidates can win races that matter.

People focused leaders are the way Democrats win.

Proud to earn a 💯 on the 2025 MD Humane Scorecard! Protecting animals is part of building a more compassionate Maryland. 🐾
