Hoyer Congratulates Leaders of the New Democrat Coalition for the 115th Congress
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today congratulating the incoming leaders of the New Democrat Coalition for the 115th Congress:
“I want to congratulate my friend, Rep. Jim Himes, on his election as the next Chair of the New Democrat Coalition, along with the newly elected Vice-Chairs for the 115th Congress: Reps. Suzan DelBene, Derek Kilmer, Jared Polis, and Terri Sewell. I also thank Rep. Ron Kind for his service these past four years as Chair.
“The New Democrats play a critical role in our Caucus, advocating powerfully on behalf of working families and small businesses who are looking to Congress to help create the conditions for economic growth that enables them to Make It In America. I’ve been proud to work closely alongside New Democrats to fight for our values as a party and as a country, including equal opportunity, reward for hard work, and support for innovation and entrepreneurship that promote job creation. I look forward to working closely with Rep. Himes and his team to advance an agenda that can achieve these goals and renew Americans’ faith in government to help them get ahead.”
