Hoyer and Van Hollen to speak at national convention
By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com ReporterDemocrats Steny Hoyer and Chris Van Hollen have been chosen to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Denver next week. The two U.S. Representatives will be the only two members of either major party’s Maryland delegation to be speaking at either party's national convention.
Details regarding Tuesday’s speeches at the Democratic convention are still unclear. However, the evening’s theme will focus on “renewing America’s promise” and a statement confirms the gist of Van Hollen’s speech will be geared towards rising stars in Congress.
Hoyer (D-Mechanicsville) currently serves as the U.S. House Majority Leader and Van Hollen (D-Kensington) currently serves as the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
The Democratic Party will be holding its national convention from August 25-28 in Denver, Colorado. The Republican Party will hold its convention a week later in St. Paul, Minnesota.
PolitickerMD.com will be reporting from both Denver and St. Paul.

Quote of the Day
In the long run, fiscal responsibility can and must be a watchword of our majority. For eight years, the administration lived by the proposition summed up by vice president Cheney, who said, 'Reagan proved deficits don't matter.' Businesses, consumers pursued that siren song to the brink of financial destruction - and some, of course, have gone over that brink. We are now experiencing the stark, painful reality that debt does indeed matter."
- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
