Hoyer Statement on Majority Whip Jazz Lewis Stepping Down from the Maryland House of Delegates
WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement after House Majority Whip Jazz Lewis announced his upcoming departure from the Maryland House of Delegates.
"I am sorry to hear that my dear friend Jazz Lewis will depart the Maryland House of Delegates in the coming weeks. He is a public servant of the highest quality.
"From his time on my staff to his impressive tenure in the Maryland General Assembly as a Delegate and as the youngest Majority Whip in the history of the institution, Jazz's leadership and service has benefitted our entire state. For the past eight years, Jazz has been instrumental in securing numerous legislative accomplishments for our people. That includes many of the Moore-Miller Administration's recent policy achievements. I know Marylanders across Prince George's County and beyond will miss having Jazz in Annapolis. I certainly will.
"Fortunately, Jazz will remain a key player on Team Maryland in his new role as Director of State Government Relations for the University of Maryland, College Park - our alma mater. A proud Terp with unrivaled experience at every level of government, Jazz will excel in that position, just as he has in every other.
"I look forward to continuing to work with Jazz to help our people, our communities, and our great university become even more excellent."
