Maryland State Wire

Steny Hoyer, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland’s 5th district since 1981, recently shared his perspectives on legislative actions and national values through a series of tweets. Hoyer has been an influential figure in American politics, with a background that includes serving in the Maryland State Senate and earning degrees from both the University of Maryland and Georgetown University Law Center.

On July 3, 2025, Hoyer criticized former President Donald Trump for unfulfilled promises, expressing concern over a significant financial burden. He stated "Trump's promises remain unfulfilled, yet he wants working Americans to pick up the tab for his Big, Ugly Bill's $3.4 trillion price tag." He further emphasized the need to prevent this legislation from imposing debt on future generations and undermining economic confidence.

Later that day, Hoyer commented on recent actions by House Republicans. He expressed strong disapproval of their decision to pass certain legislation. According to him "Today, House Republicans passed abhorrent legislation that'll make millions of Americans more poor, hungry, & unhealthy." He warned that this action would not be forgotten by the American public.

On July 4th, reflecting on national principles amidst recent challenges to democratic institutions, Hoyer conveyed his patriotic sentiments: "As I reflect on the recent attacks on key components of our democracy... I'm proud to be American." His message was one of gratitude for America's foundational principles and an expression of pride in being part of its legacy.

Steny Hoyer continues to serve as a key political figure at age 83. Born in New York City and currently residing in Mechanicsville, he remains active in shaping policy and advocating for what he perceives as justice and liberty.
