 Congressman Steny Hoyer strongly supports environmental standards that keep our land, air and water clean. He has supported every major environmental bill since he was elected to Congress, and received a score of 100 percent on the most recent League of Conservation Voters scorecard. As a senior member of the powerful Appropriations Committee, Congressman Hoyer has secured millions of federal dollars to clean up the Chesapeake Bay and the Patuxent, Potomac, Anacostia, and St. Mary's Rivers, and to replenish the oyster population of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.
Rep. Hoyer has also worked to protect our parks and open green space by securing federal funds to add 8,000 acres to the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge, to expand Piscataway Park, which protects parklands along the Maryland shore, and helped acquire 6,000 acres in Charles County for the Douglas Point Project.
