Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 7, 2020

Rep. Jim Clyburn
Jan. 3, 2020

Rep. Jim Clyburn
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"

Nov. 20, 2019

Rep. Jim Clyburn
Oct. 9, 2019

Tweet - "This president's attempt to strip funds from our military in order to fund his ineffective, wasteful border wall makes America less safe, disrespects military families, & dishonors the Constitution. We must terminate his executive order & return those funds to the military."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Sept. 24, 2019
