Boucher for Hoyer
Brian November 16th, 2006
The last line of this AP story suggests that Congressman Boucher supports Congressman Steny Hoyer of Maryland to be Majority Leader in the House.
Hoyer’s backers say he has been an able lieutenant to Pelosi and has done nothing to disqualify himself from holding the same position in the majority.
He has been aggressive in lining up supporters, most of whom are sticking with him.
“One of the first things I learned around here is that when you give your commitment you honor it,” said Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va., a Hoyer supporter.
On the other hand, House Speaker to-be Nancy Pelosi supports Congressman John Murtha from Pennsylvania.
Update:
Congressman Hoyer was selected to be Majority Leader.
We need Hoyer and a clean record.
