The Establishmentarian - Zachary Roth (5751 words)
Hoyer’s absorption in state and local politics was so total during this period of his life that, while giving a speech as a member of Congress almost 15 years later, he referred to Nelson Mandela as “Marvin Mandela”—an unconscious reference to the man who had stepped down as Maryland’s governor in 1979.
Hoyer, too, has pledged his loyalty to Pelosi, but his more centrist identity, his communications skills, and his obvious ambition have created a sense within the caucus that he represents the logical alternative to her sometimes artless leadership style.
Hoyer noted to me that he had voted for the bill when it had come up several times in previous years, and said his decision was based on a belief in personal responsibility.
Steny Hoyer - Congresspedia (1404 words)
Steny Hoyer's official website was rated by citizen researchers in February 2007 as part of a survey by the Sunlight Foundation.
In 1981, Hoyer was elected to the House of Representatives by special election to succeed the ailing Gladys Spellman from the fifth congressional district of Maryland.
Hoyer served as the lead House sponsor of the Help America Vote Act, which President Bush signed into law on October 29, 2002, and is known for sponsoring the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
