Being a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather are my proudest titles. To all the dads, grandfathers, and father figures whose love, support, and guidance help strengthen our families and communities, thank you for all you do. Happy Father’s Day!

It is more crucial than ever that we continue the fight to preserve Black History and the freedoms that generations of Black Americans fought for. Happy Juneteenth to all that celebrate in #MD05 and across our country.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.gov3d ago(source)

161 years ago, news of emancipation reached the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. Today we celebrate that freedom and reflect on our nation’s history of racial injustice.

Our farmers support our communities & economy, and that’s why Team Maryland pressed the Trump Admin to make emergency financial assistance programs available to farmers impacted by the April freeze & frost event. We will continue to support our farmers and agriculture communities across our state.

I will continue my work to ensure veterans and all Americans with disabilities receive the respect, care, and rights they deserve.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.gov6d ago(source)

Honored to be presented with the Paralyzed Veterans of America's Gordon H. Mansfield Congressional Leadership Award by Carl Blake and Robert Thomas, whose leadership has transformed the lives of veterans that live with disabilities following their service to our country.

I was glad to celebrate the #MD05 students who received appointments to a U.S. Service Academy this year at our Academy Tea. These students exhibit great character, and I'm thankful to their families for raising such bright leaders. I wish these students much luck in their military service.

Instead of working with Democrats to strengthen Social Security, Trump and DOGE continue their efforts to dismantle and privatize this vital program in order to give tax breaks to the wealthy. Congress must act now to protect Americans' hard-earned benefits and ensure they can retire with dignity.

Once again, Republicans jammed through a partisan reconciliation bill that gives another $70B to ICE & CBP without any oversight or reforms that protect our citizens and communities. Democrats stand against Trump's reckless policies and continue to hold the Administration accountable.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govJun 9(source)

Instead of working on a bill that helps Americans access health care, education & employment opportunities, Republicans aim to disinvest in key programs & leave hardworking families on their own. Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight to restore critical investments for the American people:

I was honored to attend the annual John & Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation’s Good Trouble Gala. My brother John inspired me & many others to make 'Good Trouble' to align our nation's policies with its principles. I will keep working to protect the victories he helped achieve.

I thank Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov and my colleagues for their partnership in this bipartisan effort. The Senate must follow the House and act quickly to assist Ukrainians as they continue to push ahead toward victory. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

The House passage of the Ukraine Support Act was a victory for Ukraine, the United States, freedom, and international law.

Serving the people of #MD05 in Congress has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m proud of all we've accomplished, from making critical investments in Southern Maryland to fighting for civil rights & democracy at home & abroad. I look forward to continuing my work through the end of the 119th Congress.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govJun 3(source)

I was proud to host the annual Educators Luncheon to honor our outstanding #MD05 teachers and support staff. Educators continue to face many challenges with grace and resilience. I'll keep fighting to ensure they have the resources to support our students' success within and beyond the classroom.

Now more than ever, we should be investing in affordable housing and energy, clean air and water, & transportation systems to support our communities. Yet Republicans continue to cut funding for these key priorities and support policies that raise the cost of living for hardworking Americans.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govJun 2(source)

I'm proud to announce over $1.3M in funding for Maryland crime labs and police departments to increase their DNA processing capacity. Team Maryland will keep working to provide federal investments to help tear down roadblocks to solving crime & produce accurate, timely results for our communities.
