Below is a transcript of his remarks:\n\nCongressman Steny Hoyer (MD-05) addresses the attendees of the\n\nCongressional Hackathon in the US Capitol Visitor Center Auditorium.\n\n\"Welcome. And apologies. I want you to know, however, that it was the President of the United States that held me up. It was not just for \u2018somebody\u2019 that I wasn\u2019t here with you, and I am excited about being here. I want to thank you all for being here and thank you for what you do.\n\n\"I understand, Speaker Johnson, was very kind in terms of my role in starting this and working with Derek Kilmer and others to continue this. And Speaker Johnson has been very gracious to make sure that we continue this very, very important effort, which has benefited the Congress of the United States and the people of the United States as well.\n\n\"I know the Speaker has left, I want to thank him for that. Steve Dwyer\u2014I don\u2019t know how many of you know Steve Dwyer well\u2014he says I was his boss. I had no idea what he was doing. Everybody in the office was totally reliant on Steve Dwyer every day for making sure their technology worked properly and Steve Dwyer\u2019s one of the greatest, most able, positive people that I know and if you haven\u2019t gotten to know him, you would be advantaged by doing so in future.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hoyer.house.gov/media/press-releases/hoyer-remarks-sixth-annual-congressional-hackathon-0"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8308710530400276, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
