Enacting the HAVA was one of my proudest achievements, & I was glad to join a panel discussion at UMD on how secure voting systems help maintain Americans’ faith in our elections. I encourage our youth to find ways to get involved with election administration to support the future of our democracy.

BARC is among the largest and most influential agricultural research facilities in the world. USDA's proposal to decommission BARC is illegal & deeply harmful to American farmers & food security. The Trump Administration must work with Congress on the long-term future of BARC and its vital mission.

I am deeply disturbed by the shooting that took place at the White House Correspondents Dinner. I thank the Secret Service for its swift response to protect all those in attendance. We must recommit ourselves to peaceful discourse; violence is never appropriate to address political disagreements.

The law is clear: BARC must be kept open so it can continue to support agricultural research & innovation and American farmers’ efforts to put food on our tables. Team Maryland is committed to seeing that USDA keeps BARC where it belongs in Prince George’s County. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

If Congress continues to pretend that January 6, 2021 was just another day in Washington, D.C., we violate our oath and allow perpetrators of violence to evade accountability. I oppose any effort to rationalize insurrection and that attempt to undermine the Constitution by force.

During his service in the Congress, I witnessed Rep. David Scott’s hard work transform the lives of countless farmers and Americans. I'm deeply saddened by his passing, and I pray his family is comforted by knowing how much of a positive impact he had in Georgia and our country.

Great to visit Charlotte Hall Veterans Home with Gov. Moore & witness the profound impact of our collective action to strengthen health care for veterans. Team Maryland remains committed to ensuring that Marylanders who bravely served our nation in uniform receive the quality of care they deserve.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 21(source)

The FSGG bill is supposed to be the vehicle for funding agencies that power our government to operate in the best interests of the American people. Instead, it falls far short. @democrats-appropriations.house.gov will keep fighting to ensure the government works for those it is supposed to serve.

Republicans continue to slash programs and protections that ensure our elections are secure and protect Americans from scams & higher costs for services they need. @democrats-appropriations.house.gov will keep standing against their efforts to leave hardworking Americans vulnerable & on their own.

It was an honor to join the groundbreaking for the new ARLIS facility at UMD. I was proud to secure federal funding for advanced research infrastructure at UMD & am thrilled to see quantum computing initiatives expanding. I look forward to the exciting discoveries that will emerge from the facility.

Serving on the Helsinki Commission was one of the defining chapters of my 45 years in the House. As I gathered with past and present Members & staff of the commission, we were reminded that democracy’s survival is never inevitable; it requires vigilance, cooperation, courage, and above all, action.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 17(source)

Instead of investing in our civic institutions, Republicans are slashing federal programs and services that protect and make life more affordable for hardworking American families. Tune in now as @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight back:

Today I join Jewish communities around the world to observe Yom HaShoah in remembrance of the 6 million Jews killed in the Nazis' horrific genocide.
