I was glad to join educators & elected officials in MD to celebrate 25 years of Judy Centers in our state. My late wife, Judy, would have been so proud of all that we have accomplished since the first center opened. It is an honor to continue her mission to boost school readiness in our communities.

The IRS Direct File program gave thousands of Americans across 25 states a free, fast, and easy way to pay their taxes. The Trump Admin knew it was a success but decided to end Direct File because they do not want government to work, even if it can save Americans time and money.

Ranking Member Hoyer Statement on the Cancellation of the IRS Direct File Program

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05), Ranking Member of the Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) Appropriations Subcommittee, released the following statement today a...

Greenbelt, MD was selected as the most suitable site for the new FBI headquarters through a thorough & transparent process. Team Maryland will keep fighting against Trump's unlawful plan to abandon the project and move the agency to the 30-year-old Reagan Building. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

Hoyer Supports Attorney General Brown and Prince George’s County’s Suit Against Trump Administration to Stop Unlawful Diversion of FBI Headquarters Project from Maryland

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) expressed support for Attorney General Anthony G. Brown and Prince George's County's lawsuit to stop the Trump administration's unlawful atte...

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govNov 7(source)

The Trump Admin is undermining the FBI’s vital law enforcement & national security mission by continuing to deprive it of a secure, consolidated facility. I commend AG Brown & County Executive Braveboy for their leadership in holding the admin accountable for trying to abandon the Greenbelt project.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement after Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (CA-11) announced that she will not run for reelection in 2026:

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govNov 6(source)

My friend @pelosi.house.gov's leadership has impacted the lives of every American. With a political mind of the highest caliber, she will be remembered as one of the most effective Speakers. Her departure will be a tremendous loss for our Congress & country. I wish Nancy & her family all the best.

The Army Corps’s projects in MD are vital to the safety of our state's coastal communities & strength of our economy. The MD Delegation calls on the admin to provide information on the projects that will be impacted by the announcement to pause critical this funding. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

Attention #MD05: The 2026 Open Enrollment period is underway! To ensure your health care coverage will still apply for your needs in 2026, Marylanders can visit www.marylandhealthconnection.gov or call 1-855-642-8572. Enroll in your coverage today!

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 31(source)

The 2026 Open Enrollment period for health care coverage starts tomorrow, Nov. 1st. As Trump & Republicans in Congress are driving Americans' health care costs up, I urge everyone to check the rates to see if their plan will still meet their needs next year. Visit HealthCare.gov for more.

Hoyer Statement Ahead of the 2026 Open Enrollment Period

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement ahead of the open enrollment period for health insurance coverage in 2026:

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 31(source)

Without SNAP benefits, 42 million Americans - including nearly 680,000 in MD - would go without food assistance. Hundreds of federal employees in Maryland & beyond are already turning to their local food banks for help. We must put an end to this Republican shutdown.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 30(source)

We must not choose between paying federal workers, lowering health care costs, or funding federal food assistance; all are critically important to the American people. I will continue to demand a bipartisan agreement that accomplishes these objectives & puts an end to the Republican shutdown.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 30(source)

In the face of Trump’s illegal action to withhold SNAP funding, the MD Delegation is glad to see Gov. Moore take action to protect vulnerable families. Team Maryland will continue working to support Marylanders as we fight to end this shameful Republican shutdown. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 30(source)

The Trump Administration doesn't want to reopen the government; they're working to dismantle it entirely. Their refusal to negotiate a bipartisan deal to end the Republican shutdown sends a clear message to the American people: You're On Your Own.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 29(source)

Thankful that the illegal purge of federal workers during the shutdown has been put to a stop. Now it's time to get these patriots their paychecks. I'll continue to stand up for them as House Democrats work to reopen the government & save health care. apnews.com/article/shut...

Judge extends order barring the Trump administration from firing federal workers during the shutdown

A federal judge in San Francisco has indefinitely blocked the Trump administration from firing federal workers during the government shutdown. U.S.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 24(source)

While Republicans are refusing to govern, federal workers are facing the consequences of their inaction & the Trump Admin's continued attacks. We must end the Republican shutdown now and protect affordable health care. Our federal workers & the Americans they serve depend on it.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 24(source)

The expiration of ACA subsidies would deal a staggering blow to thousands of Marylanders' financial well-being & overall health. Team Maryland demands Republican leadership bring the House back into session & act swiftly to protect the subsidies and save affordable health care.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 24(source)

The White House is being struck down by a president who apparently believes he is a king and wants to build a palace. Trump is a temporary tenant in America's House, and he must be held accountable for his demolition of the East Wing.
