Press Release

For the past five years, the American people have had a strong defender in Richard Cordray, who has tirelessly led the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) since its inception. 

House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (D-MD) announced today that House Democrats are launching the “Make It In America Listening Tour” this weekend.

Today, the House overwhelmingly passed the bipartisan defense authorization conference report for 2018, which invests in a strong national defense to meet the threats we face around the world.

Under pressure from a President who doesn’t understand how Congress works, Senate Republicans are now including in their tax bill a provision to eliminate the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate.

We’re in, because it’s the right thing to do. We’re in, because it’s common sense. We’re in, because we are the leaders notwithstanding the blowing of the trumpet of retreat by Trump. That’s why we’re in.

Today’s analysis from the Congressional Budget Office shows the full fiscal impact of the Republican tax bill’s massive deficit increases.

I’m pleased that the House was able to reach a bipartisan compromise on a resolution highlighting the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen and making it clear that Congress must and will play its part in defining our military’s role in that country. 

I was saddened to learn of my friend Rep. Gene Green’s decision to retire at the end of this Congress.  He will be missed on both sides of the aisle in the House, which he has served with honor and distinction for the past twenty-four years.
