Steny Hoyer, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland's 5th district since 1981, has been vocal on various fiscal and regulatory issues through his social media posts. Born in New York City in 1939, Hoyer holds a BA from the University of Maryland and a JD from Georgetown University Law Center. His recent tweets address national fiscal policies and regulatory enforcement matters.

On May 19, 2025, Steny Hoyer emphasized the importance of addressing national deficits and debt to alleviate the financial burden on Americans caused by what he describes as "this administration's fiscal irresponsibility." He called for efforts to "rebuild the economic strength and stability" of the country. The full post can be viewed here.

The following day, May 20, 2025, Hoyer expressed concern over budget cuts at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He warned that such cuts "weaken its ability to go after corruption & enforce laws," potentially affecting former President Trump's business ventures. He urged viewers to watch as Democrats verify whether the SEC has adequate tools to maintain market fairness for all Americans. This tweet is accessible here.

Later that same day, Hoyer reiterated his stance on improving market trust by enhancing enforcement rather than reducing staff at the SEC who expose harmful practices. He assured that Democrats are committed to ensuring that the SEC effectively protects investors and rebuilds market confidence. The original tweet can be found here.

Steny Hoyer's career in public service spans several decades; he served in both chambers of Maryland's legislature before joining Congress. Now residing in Mechanicsville, he continues to advocate for responsible governance and robust regulatory frameworks.
