As we mark the end of one year and prepare for the beginning of a new one, I am grateful for the privilege to serve you, my constituents, again in 2026. I look forward to continuing the work of providing assistance and critical resources for Marylanders in #MD05 and beyond.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govDec 25(source)

Wishing all who celebrate in #MD05 and beyond a Merry Christmas! I hope this holiday is filled with joy, warmth, and comfort as you spend these special moments with your neighbors and loved ones.

It doesn't matter how many concessions given to Putin - he will keep fighting this war so long as he thinks he can outlast the free world. Now is not the time to fold. I urge my Republican colleagues to sign our discharge petition to support the courageous people of Ukraine & liberty over tyranny.

Hoyer: The Free World Will Bear the Cost if We Let Putin Prevail

Moving the FBI from an inadequate 50-year-old building to an inadequate 30-year-old building makes no sense in the short or long term.

Every candle lit by Jews around the world on each night of Hanukkah is a reminder that the Jewish light will continue to burn bright in the darkest moments. Tonight, I lit these candles to symbolize my commitment to the Jewish community and removing antisemitism from our world. #LightforAustralia

The MD Delegation & I are proud to announce over $6.9 million to support firefighters & first responders across Maryland. We can always count on these heroes in the face of danger or during an emergency, and this federal funding will equip them with new resources to support their life-saving work.

The feeble health care bill House Republicans passed today would do little to fix the gaping hole they've left in America's health care system by refusing to extend cost saving ACA tax credits. With this bill, House Republicans have once again told the American people, 'You're on your own.'

Hoyer Statement on Republicans' Partisan Health Care Bill

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement after voting on H.R. 6703, the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act:

Del. Jazz Lewis has made a significant impact during his tenure in the General Assembly. It's been an honor to work with Jazz over the years. I'm proud of the extraordinary work he's done for Maryland, and he'll continue to excel in his new position as UMD's Director of State Government Relations.

Last month's 'peace' plan to end the war in Ukraine was a Russian menu. We cannot build peace on a promise from Putin. I urge my Republican colleagues to join the push to vote on the Ukraine Support Act, which would undermine Russia's war machine & give Ukraine the support needed to win this fight.

Congratulations to Delegate Joseline Peña-Melnyk on being elected as the next Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates. Passionate and collaborative, I know Joseline's leadership will be transformational at this critical moment for our state. I look forward to our continued partnership.

The #NovemberJobsReport reveals only 64,000 jobs were added & unemployment grew to 4.6% – the highest level since the pandemic. Trump can deny reality all he wants, but America's economic carnage will continue so long as Trump & his MAGA Republican majorities in Congress stay on the current course.

As we continue to process yesterday's tragedy, Hanukkah is a powerful reminder of the Jewish peoples' resilience & that we can always find the light in the darkness. May the glow of each candlelight bring comfort, hope, & joy to you & your loved ones this evening & in the days to come. Chag sameach.

The Help America Vote Act was not just to secure our elections, but to restore the strength of our democracy in the eyes of the American people. Great to join a compelling conversation about HAVA & the importance of election reform. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govDec 12(source)

Collective bargaining is the strongest tool for workers to create a fair workplace, & I'm pleased that the House voted to nullify the harmful EO that would strip federal workers of this hard-earned right. I'll keep fighting against efforts to disempower our federal workers & undermine their service.
