Hoyer campaigns for Pingree
U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., campaigned for Chellie Pingree today in Portland.
Pingree, a Democrat, is running against Republican Charlie Summers for Maine's 1st Congressional District seat.
Hoyer talked about the recently passed rescue bill and said Congress might return to Washington to consider a new job and economic stimulus package, increased aid to states to pay for Medicaid and an extension of unemployment benefits might be part of the package, according to a statement from the Pingree campaign.
