UPPER MARLBORO, MD – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-5) visited the County Administration Building in Upper Marlboro today for an informal Meet and Greet luncheon with the Prince George's County Council. During the luncheon, they spoke about a number of topics including relocating the FBI headquarters to Prince George's County and the county's Fiscal Year 2016 budget. Rep. Hoyer also stopped by Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker's office.

"I was honored to visit with Chairman Franklin and the Prince George's County Council today, along with County Executive Baker," said Congressman Steny Hoyer. "I will continue to work closely with the Council and Executive Baker to support jobs and opportunities for Prince George's County families. By working together, we will make certain that Prince George's County is the future home of the new FBI headquarters and that the county continues to grow for future generations of Prince Georgians."

"The Prince George's County Council was pleased for the opportunity to host our 5th District United States Congressman, the Honorable Steny Hoyer today, for a ‘Meet and Greet' luncheon in Upper Marlboro," said Prince George's County Council Chairman Mel Franklin. "Congressman Hoyer has been a tireless advocate for the issues and interests of the residents of Prince George's County.  In particular, Congressman Hoyer and our entire federal team have led the effort on Capitol Hill to bring the headquarters of the F.B.I. to Prince George's County.  We look forward to continuing our dialogue about all of the ways we can work together to ‘bring the world to Prince George's County' and make our great county even greater."

"Congressman Hoyer epitomizes what it means to have Congress in the community and we are very grateful for his visit today to Upper Marlboro to the County Council and County Executive offices," said Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III. "From attracting to the FBI in Greenbelt to assisting with impacted residents of a slope failure in Ft. Washington to thousands of issues that his office handles daily for Prince Georgians, Rep. Hoyer and his incredible staff have been and will always be there for the residents of this County. I look forward to working with Rep. Hoyer and his office over the next four years as we take the off ramp from 'Path of Greatness' onto the 'Highway to our Destiny."
