Former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., has announced his intention to run for reelection to Congress, aiming for a 23rd term. At 84 years old, Hoyer is a titan of Maryland politics, having represented the Fifth District since 1981. He expressed his belief in a Democratic majority in the next Congress that would deliver for families in Maryland and across the country. This decision comes after discussions with his wife, family, colleagues, and constituents. Hoyer's announcement quashes any speculation about his possible retirement and underscores his commitment to advancing important priorities, including the potential to influence the location of the FBI headquarters, as mentioned in his interview with Punchbowl News AM. His campaign is set against the backdrop of recent political shifts, including the Republican takeover of the House and the reelection filings of both Hoyer and Nancy Pelosi, while Kevin McCarthy is predicted to be out of Congress within a year.
