Majority Leader Steny Hoyer represents Maryland’s 5th Congressional District, and is currently serving his 21st term in Congress. Inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and the legacy of President John F. Kennedy, Leader Hoyer has long been an advocate for positive, progressive change. At just 27 years old, he won a seat representing his own Prince George’s County in the Maryland State Senate, and by age 35, he became the youngest State Senate President in Maryland’s history—a record he still holds. In 1981, Leader Hoyer won his seat in Congress in a special election, and he has spent every day since fighting to protect the health and safety of his constituents.
Throughout his time in public service, Leader Hoyer has earned a reputation for effectiveness. In the 1990s, he was an original co-sponsor of the Violence Against Women Act, and in susequent years, he has worked within the Democratic Caucus and across the aisle with Republicans to secure the passage of groundbreaking legislation to address America’s epidemic of gun violence.
As House Majority Leader, he is the second-ranking member of the House Democratic leadership team and plays a key role in shaping the House’s priorities. In particular, he is responsible for deciding what legislation comes to the House floor to effect the party’s agenda. His experience, know-how, and strong work ethic have led to increasing responsibilities within the leadership structure over the years: he previously served as House Democratic Whip from 2003 to 2007 and Chair of the Democratic Caucus from 1989 to 1995. In 2007, he became the longest-serving member of the US House from Maryland.
Leader Hoyer continues to work hard every day to keep Americans safe. With so much on the line this fall, we need to make sure to reelect leaders who are ready to swiftly pass the legislative fixes needed to end gun violence next term—and we know Leader Steny Hoyer can get the job done. With his leadership, our gun safety majority will be stronger than ever in 2023.
