Scott Praises New Majority Leader Election
“Congressman Hoyer has been a tremendous asset to House Democrats for many years,” Congressman Scott said. “I signed on as one of his earliest supporters because of his work on behalf of the caucus and his friendship to me, which began before I was even sworn in as a new Congressman in 2002. As the Minority Whip, he has helped lead Democrats to the majority. The House Democratic Caucus has rewarded him for not giving up when we were the minority party in Washington.”
The House Democratic Caucus met Thursday morning to elect their leadership. Congressman Hoyer previously served as the Democratic Minority Whip. In his new position, Hoyer serves as second-in-command to Speaker Nancy Pelosi. |
