2024 battleground election
Ballotpedia identified the May 14 Democratic primary as a battleground race. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.
Incumbent Steny Hoyer (D), Quincy Bareebe (D), Andrea Crooms (D), and Mckayla Wilkes (D) are running in the Democratic primary in Maryland's 5th Congressional District on May 14, 2024.
The Longview News-Journal's Matt Wynn wrote that the challengers are "taking on the monumental task of beating one of Congress’s most senior members."[2] Hoyer was a member of House Democratic leadership from 2003 through 2023, serving as majority leader or minority whip throughout that period. Since Ballotpedia began covering primary elections for this district in 2012, the closest Democratic primary was in 2020, where Hoyer defeated Wilkes 64.4% to 26.7%.
First elected in 1981, Hoyer says he is running to continue his work on the Appropriations Committee, including overseeing the construction of a new FBI headquarters in Greenbelt, Maryland, and securing funding for early childhood education centers. Hoyer says that "during this coming election, the values, character, and very soul of America are at risk. Freedom, which makes our nation exceptional, will be on the ballot."[3]
Bareebe is the president and CEO of a home healthcare agency and an accountant. Bareebe says she is running "to get someone in representation that understands what it means to be late on your mortgage, understands what it means for a mother to be out there and working three jobs and their paychecks are not enough."[4] Bareebe says her priority is addressing the cost of living in the district.[5]
Crooms is an attorney and the director of the Prince George's County Department of the Environment.[6] Crooms says she is running "because my generation and those that follow need strong representation who will help build a better tomorrow." Crooms says her priorities are improving living conditions for working families, protecting the environment, and promoting fairness and equity.[7]
Wilkes is a community organizer and the founder of Schools Not Jails, a group describing itself as "a grassroots, community-based organization fighting for a dismantling of the school-to-prison pipeline and broader carceral state."[8][9] Wilkes says her priorities are "criminal justice and public education reform, affordable housing, healthcare, economic and racial justice."[10] Wilkes has challenged Hoyer twice before, winning 26.7% of the vote in 2020 and 19.1% in 2022.
As of April 9, 2024, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales, and Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball each rated the general election Solid/Safe Democratic. Hoyer defeated Chris Palombi (R) 65.9%–33.9% in the 2022 election.
All 435 seats are up for election. Republicans have a 217 to 213 majority with five vacancies.[11] As of April 2024, 43 members of the U.S. House had announced they were not running for re-election. To read more about the U.S. House elections taking place this year, click here.

Issues
Healthcare
Support for Affordable Care Act
Hoyer said on November 19, 2013, of the Affordable Care Act launch, “It’s had a rough rollout, to say the least, that’s disappointing. But it doesn’t undermine the fact that at its basis the Affordable Care Act will provide millions and millions of people with access to affordable, quality health care.”[149]
Social issues
Kids Act
In January 2014, Hoyer criticized Eric Cantor prior to Cantor's speech at the Brookings Institute. Cantor's speech promoted school choice as a way of reducing income inequality. Hoyer said, "Talk is cheap. Performance is what pays off. The Kids Act provides for authorization, not appropriation, for pediatric research. Now, the [National Institutes of Health] spends $800 million annually on pediatric health. This bill, which they talk about and which Mr. Cantor thinks made a good statement, does make a good statement about the need for kids research [but Republicans] voted for a budget offered by [Paul] Ryan that would have the effect of cutting NIH by $6 billion, if the cuts were applied across the board. And of course politically it sounds very good because they take away from politicians and conventions. I don’t think anybody cares whether they take that money away or not, whether you have the public pay for that or the private sector pay for it." Hoyer concluded, "It’s very nice to go around the country and say you’re for education, but … you cut the Labor-Health bill by 22.6 percent in your budget. It’s very nice to say you’re for No Child Left Behind, but you didn’t fund it. So talk is cheap, performance is what counts, it’s the Reagan ‘Trust but verify.' Okay, so you say nice things. What are you doing?"[150] Cantor's spokesman Doug Heye responded, "House Republicans put talk into action by passing the Student Success Act, which included a Cantor amendment directing Title I money follow the student, and overwhelmingly approving the Gabriella Miller Kids First Act. We’re especially grateful for the 72 House Democrats who rejected both Mr. Hoyer’s cynicism and whip and voted for Gabriella Miller’s bill."[150]
Marijuana legalization
In January 2014, Hoyer responded to the possibility that the Maryland General Assembly would introduce bills to legalize marijuana in the state. "I'm not a proponent of legalization of marijuana. As I talked to people who deal with drug abuse issues, with rehabilitation issues, I became convinced that marijuana was, in fact, a threshold drug and it would lead to the use of harder, very harmful drugs," Hoyer said on C-SPAN on January 9, 2014.[151]

Personal Gain Index

- See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)
The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:
PGI: Change in net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Hoyer's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $15,003 and $52,000. That averages to $33,501.50, which was lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Hoyer ranked as the 395th most wealthy representative in 2012.[179] Between 2004 and 2012, Hoyer's calculated net worth[180] decreased by an average of 12 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[181]
Steny Hoyer Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2004 | $738,376 |
2012 | $33,501.50 |
Growth from 2004 to 2012: | −95% |
Average annual growth: | −12%[182] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[183] |
The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric
Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Hoyer received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Health Professionals industry.
From 1989-2014, 23.23 percent of Hoyer's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[184]
