Rep. Steny Hoyer

Dad. Proud Marylander. Congressman representing Maryland's 5th District. Chair of the U.S. House of Representatives Regional Leadership Council.
- Glad to meet with @wmatagm.bsky.social and my fellow Members in the greater Washington Metro Area to discuss reliable and safe public transport for our region. I look forward to our continued partnership with 'America's Metro' to support our communities and keep our economy moving forward.
- All of us have experienced challenging medical and family circumstances. The Family and Medical Leave Act was the first step towards protecting employees for extended leave, but more is needed.
- On FMLA's 33rd anniversary, let us recommit to ensuring more Americans are protected as they seek to balance work and family obligations.
- I proudly joined my National Capital Region colleagues to announce the launch of the Federal Workforce Caucus. The American people need our federal employees energized and uplifted, not traumatized. I have fought to protect them from DOGE's crusade, and Congress must do the same.
- The Washington Post’s shameful decision to dismiss 1/3 of their staff will severely undermine its ability to provide comprehensive coverage of local, national, and global events. This will have grave implications for America and the world.
- I thank those who were laid off for their tireless reporting and service to truth and democracy. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
- Congress needs to rein in ICE, and we must also ensure the federal government can continue providing vital services to the American people.
- With this appropriations package, we exercise our power of the purse as we keep working to place meaningful and substantial accountability measures on ICE operations. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
- Great to meet with the Prince George's County House Delegation to give an update on federal affairs in Washington, D.C. and discuss this year's top priorities. I look forward to continuing our work together on behalf of Prince Georgians & for the well-being of all Marylanders in the months to come.
- Thrilled to share that Harold "Fyütch" Simmons II and his daughter, Aura V, won the GRAMMY Award for Best Children’s Music Album! The duo also made history as Aura is now the youngest individual GRAMMY winner.
- As a certified "girl dad" myself, I remain in awe of the bond you both share through artistry. Congratulations, you've made #MD05 proud!
- As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, we're reminded that the fight to preserve the triumphs, struggles, & legacy of the Black American experience continues. This #BlackHistoryMonth & beyond let us keep honoring the Black voices & traditions that shape our nation & inspire our future.
- I’m going to join WTOP’s Weekend Anchor Ralph Fox at 2:45 p.m. to discuss the ongoing lapse in federal appropriations and holding DHS officials accountable. Tune in:
