Press Release

You have been an extraordinary leader for committee Democrats as our caucus continues its effort to focus Congress’s attention on education, innovation, and access to equal opportunity.

The Senate has now acted and approved a reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, which both Democrats and Republicans agree supports thousands of American jobs.

WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) joined Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), former Senators Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Bob Dole (R-KS), former Rep.

Americans who care about the fundamental dignity of all people can applaud this decision. 

The Democratic Whip Office’s sixth annual Member Online All-Star Competition came to a close earlier this week. It was a great success, with House Democrats collectively gaining over 231,000 new social media followers over three weeks.

MESSAGE FROM THE DEMOCRATIC WHIP

Before the end of the month, Congress must take action to reauthorize the Highway Trust Fund and reopen the Export-Import Bank – both of which will support jobs here in the U.S. Last week, the House passed a five-month reauthorization of the Highway Trust Fund, and I continue to urge the Senate to work in a bipartisan way to reauthorize the Highway Trust Fund before the July 31 deadline.

Twenty-five years ago, President George H. W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law.  

I was very disappointed that House Republicans passed yet another partisan, anti-immigrant bill today.
