Hoyer is the House Majority Leader.
Democrats picked Rep. Steny Hoyer to be House majority leader on Thursday, spurning Rep. Nancy Pelosi's handpicked choice moments after unanimously backing her election as speaker when Congress convenes in January.
A Marylander and 25-year veteran of Congress, Hoyer defeated Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania in a vote of 149-86.
This is good news because, sorry,
Murtha is crooked. Especially in regards to
this episode.
Yeah, he might be cleaner now (although his lobbying reform votes suggest otherwise) but not clean enough for leadership. And based on his earmarking record I'd really rather have almost anyone else.
