Majority Whip Clyburn Issues Statement Following House Passage of The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act
Rep. Jim Clyburn
July 9, 2020
Tweet - "As we recognize the anniversary of the 14th amendment today, we are witnessing states across this country enact laws that are stripping away the rights of Americans. They are infringing on voting rights, women's rights, worker's rights & much more. It must stop now."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
June 11, 2020
Tweet - "Voting by mail should be implemented nationwide. Pass it on."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "The right to vote is a basic American right. Today's primary election failures highlight the need to pass my VoteSafe Act. In order to have a fair & accurate election in November, all Americans must have access to early voting, vote-by-mail, and well-functioning polling places."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
May 30, 2020
Tweet - "I can understand the anger not just in Minneapolis but all across the country. I can understand the uprising & unrest that has taken place. To all those frustrated like I am, let's harness the energy out there today & target that energy to make it a force on Election Day."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
May 21, 2020
Tweet - "It's been 101 years since the House passed the #19thamendment, removing sex as a barrier to the polls. However, we are still seeing blatant attempts to suppress voting rights. We must continue the fight for voting rights until all have equal access to the ballot box."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
May 13, 2020
Tweet - "This pandemic has highlighted the many challenges Americans face while voting. That's why I'm proud to join @SenKamalaHarris & @RepMarciaFudge to introduce the #VoteSafeAct today. It expands voting options to include voting by mail, early voting, & improves voter registration."

Rep. Jim Clyburn
Jan. 21, 2020
Tweet - "10 years ago, the #CitizensUnited decision authorized unlimited spending in our elections by outside groups & donors. We need a democracy that works for the people, not private interests. We must #EndCitizensUnited & restore power to the American people. #DemocracyForAll"

H.R. 4 Is a Federal Power Grab Waiting to Be Abused
Rep. Ralph Norman
Dec. 6, 2019
Tweet - "In 2013, the Shelby v. Holder decision gutted the VRA, unleashing a wave of local voter suppression laws designed to silence American voters--especially voters of color. The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy and must be protected at all costs. #RestoreTheVote"
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Dec. 6, 2019
Tweet - "#HR4 is a good step to right the wrongs that've dismantled the fundamental right to vote through Voter ID laws, purging voter rolls & closing majority-minority polling places. Upholding the voter protections in the VRA is critical to realizing the promise of democracy for all."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Dec. 6, 2019
Tweet - "I do believe that this piece of legislation is deserving of bipartisan support. I can remember when voting rights bills could pass both houses unanimously. Let's do that today and demonstrate that we are making this democracy work for ALL. #RestoreTheVote"

Rep. Jim Clyburn
Oct. 23, 2019
Tweet - "American elections ought to be decided by American voters not foreign governments. The SHIELD Act: Increases the transparency of our election process Creates barriers to prevent foreign interference, and Limits interactions between campaigns & foreign entities."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Oct. 21, 2019
Tweet - "We must protect the integrity of our elections. This week, Congress will vote on the SHIELD Act to protect our elections from foreign interference. American elections ought to be decided by American voters."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Aug. 6, 2019
Tweet - "Today marks the 54th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. Since then, we have seen voter protections stripped away, leading to modern voter suppression tactics. We must continue this fight until America's greatness is accessible & affordable for ALL Americans."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
June 27, 2019
Tweet - "The ruling in favor of partisan gerrymandering underscores the necessity of citizen participation in the electoral process. Stacking the deck for partisan gain isn't ideal for democracy or the principle of one person, one vote. This must change going forward."
