WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after Congressman Bill Shuster (PA-09) announced yesterday his decision to not seek re-election to the House of Representatives:
“I join in thanking Rep. Bill Shuster for his service to the House of Representatives and to our country. I’ve been honored to work alongside him and call him a friend these past seventeen years – as well as a Sigma Chi brother. Bill has been a leader in securing bipartisan investments in America’s infrastructure, working closely with his Democratic counterpart, Ranking Member Peter DeFazio, on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. He has earned respect from both sides of the aisle, and I will be sad to see Bill leave Congress at the end of this session. I wish him well in his future endeavors and look forward to working with him this year on securing a new consolidated FBI headquarters before he leaves office.”
