The Official YouTube Channel of Congressman Steny Hoyer, the Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives.
About Me:
In response to the recession, Congressman Hoyer helped lead House passage of investments and tax cuts that non-partisan experts say are responsible for 3 million jobs. He is also spearheading the Make It In America agenda, a plan to rebuild American manufacturing and its well-paying jobs. He made crucial contributions to the passage of legislation to expand access to affordable health care to all Americans, as well as new common-sense rules to rein in Wall Street excesses and protect consumers while upholding the free market.
Congressman Hoyer believes that fiscal responsibility is critical to ensuring that we have the resources to invest in our future, as well as protect important programs like Social Security and Medicare. To that end, he helped lead the restoration of the pay-as-you-go law, ensuring that our country pays for what it buys.
A voice for those who have been hit hardest by the economic crisis, Congressman Hoyer has fought to help people who have lost jobs through no fault of their own, keep teachers, police officers, and firefighters on the job, and encourage small businesses to grow and create jobs. He has been a longtime proponent of full-service community schools, whose range of services have been shown to improve academic performance and parental involvement in at-risk communities.
As an advocate of equal opportunity, Congressman Hoyer guided the historic Americans with Disabilities Act to passage in 1990, as well as the ADA Amendments Act in 2008 which strengthened the law. He was a lead sponsor of the Help America Vote Act in 2002, which was hailed as the most important voting rights legislation since the 1960s. And in 2010, he was a leader in successfully ending the outdated and discriminatory policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," which has weakened our military by depriving it of the service of thousands of brave Americans willing to risk their lives for their country.
Congressman Hoyer is a respected voice on defense and foreign policy. He has worked diligently to ensure passage of the annual homeland security, intelligence, and defense authorization bills that are critical to our national security.
One of Congress's leading champions of human rights, Congressman Hoyer served as Chairman of the Helsinki Commission, fighting for political and religious freedom during the last years of the Soviet Union. He led a bipartisan Congressional delegation to Darfur in 2007 to call greater attention to the recent genocide and has continued to support a strong American role in defense of human rights.
Congressman Hoyer and his wife, the late Judith Pickett Hoyer, have three daughters, Susan, Stefany and Anne; son-in-law Loren Taylor; grandchildren Judy, James Cleveland, and Alexa; and one great-granddaughter, Ava.

There are not many people interested in strengthening America's middle class. That's why people like Steny are important.

Steny Hoyer I must disagree with people being out on the street because of Republicans. It's the overall politics which are the problem not 1 party or the other.

Good news! Steny Hoyer has stated that he will take his own life if the debt ceiling is raised! ! Steny finally realizes that he is a fiscal failure and needs to pay for his poor decisions by killing himself in order to restore his honor. America is mighty proud of Steny Hoyer!!
