Maryland State Wire

Steny Hoyer, a long-serving U.S. Congressman representing Maryland's 5th district, recently took to social media to address several key issues impacting his constituents. With a political career that commenced in 1981 following his tenure in the Maryland State Senate, Hoyer remains an influential figure in national and local politics.

On April 17, Hoyer voiced his concerns regarding proposed Republican cuts to Medicaid. He stated, "Slashing Medicaid threatens the health care of millions of Marylanders. Today, I joined @Sen_Alsobrooks & Sandy Washington from LifeStyles of Maryland, Inc., in La Plata to highlight LifeStyles’ important work & the devastating impact of Republicans’ proposed cuts to Medicaid."

On April 18, Hoyer expressed relief regarding a Supreme Court decision on the case of Abrego Garcia. According to his statement: "I’m relieved to see Abrego Garcia is alive, and I’m grateful for Senator @ChrisVanHollen’s leadership and moral clarity. The Supreme Court has spoken unanimously: Abrego Garcia must be brought home. Trump’s disregard for this ruling goes against the Constitution and our ideals."

On April 20, Hoyer extended holiday greetings to his constituents. Hoyer shared, "I join in wishing families in #MD05 and those celebrating across the country a Happy Easter. May you enjoy this joyful day with your loved ones as we welcome the arrival of spring and embrace new beginnings."

Hoyer, a native of New York City, currently resides in Mechanicsville and has a distinguished academic background with a BA from the University of Maryland, College Park, and a JD from Georgetown University Law Center.
