Hoyer Statement on the Retirement of Congressman Maurice Hinchey

Statement

House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after Congressman Maurice Hinchey (NY-22) announced that he is retiring at the end of this Congress:

"When Maurice Hinchey came to Congress is 1993, he brought with him the experiences of a Navy sailor, factory worker, and respected state lawmaker. These experiences helped him become a leader in Congress when it came to supporting our veterans, protecting the environment, and ensuring that government by the people always works for the people. I have been honored to serve with him for the past nineteen years, and his voice -- a moral voice for conservation, economic justice, and equality of opportunity -- will be greatly missed in Congress. I extend to him and his family my best wishes on his retirement."
