Continuing his aggressive nationwide travel schedule, House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer travels to Illinois and Nebraska this week to campaign for Democrats.

On Tuesday, Hoyer will tour a local business, Rags of Honor, with Rep. Mike Quigley (IL-05).

On Wednesday, Hoyer will travel to Omaha, Nebraska where he will attend a fundraiser for Frontline Member Rep. Brad Ashford (NE-02).
