Oct. 22, 2021
Reps. Mace and Jacobs Release a Statement on the Introduction of the Ending Veteran Homelessness Act
Rep. Nancy Mace, ...
Oct. 17, 2021
Tweet - "I'm in the business of making sure we #BuildBackBetter for everybody -- not just the people at the top."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Oct. 16, 2021
Tweet - "The American Rescue Plan's expanded #ChildTaxCredit is pulling millions of children out of poverty. Without further action, though, it will end after 2021. Let's work to make it permanent."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Oct. 15, 2021
Tweet - "The #BuildBackBetter Act is our opportunity to address the systemic inequities exposed and exacerbated by COVID-19. This is a not a red state/blue state issue. This is a moral issue for all Americans."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Oct. 14, 2021
Tweet - "Americans like Akira, who have done everything right in the federal rental assistance application process, are still finding themselves at risk of losing their homes. States must act now and distribute these life-saving funds."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Oct. 7, 2021
Tweet - "Under a FEMA program established by Congress, nearly $26 million in COVID-19 funeral assistance has been provided to 3,700+ SC families impacted by this pandemic. It cannot erase their grief, but this program can ease the financial burdens associated with losing a loved one."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Oct. 6, 2021
Tweet - "Something is very wrong when the tenants who need rental assistance the most are deterred by their own landlords or lost in their state's assistance backlog. States must do what is necessary and get these rental assistance funds out."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Sept. 14, 2021
Tweet - "Because of my experiences in this country, I know low-income neighborhoods will be left behind if we don't fully fund these programs in the budget bill. Let's stop arguing about the numbers and start looking at the programs they apply to."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Aug. 4, 2021
ICYMI: Sen. Scott on Access to Financial Services and Credit for Low-Income Americans
Sen. Tim Scott
June 4, 2021
Tweet - "Today's jobs report is proof that the Democrats' economic recovery plan is working. Americans are getting vaccinated, the economy is reopening, and, under the leadership of President Biden, unemployment is at the lowest rate since the pandemic began. #BuildBackBetter"
Rep. Jim Clyburn
May 25, 2021
Tweet - "Cutting off pandemic unemployment benefits early will hurt rural communities, and won't help people get back to work. People want to work, but they need job offers with fair pay, transportation to get there, and childcare to be available."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
April 9, 2021
Tweet - "I applaud the Biden-Harris Administration's funding request for endorsing my "10-20-30" plan, which targets investments in persistent poverty communities. I look forward to working with the Administration to expand opportunity in areas that have been neglected for far too long."
Rep. Jim Clyburn

Sen. Tim Scott
Dec. 8, 2020
Tweet - "Our frontline public service workers stepped up to the front lines when we needed them most, but now, over 1.2 million of them are unemployed and in desperate need of aid. They cannot afford to wait on the Senate to act any longer. We must #FundTheFrontLines."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Oct. 15, 2020
Tweet - "8 million Americans have fallen into poverty since May as federal aid has run out. House Democrats passed the Heroes Act twice to provide relief to struggling Americans. It's time for Mitch McConnell to pass legislation that meets the significant needs of American families."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Aug. 7, 2020

Aug. 2, 2020

Rep. Jim Clyburn
July 8, 2020
Tweet - "Expanded assistance for unemployed Americans expires in 18 days. The House voted to extend benefits in May with the #HeroesAct, but McConnell has yet to take it up in the Senate. COVID-19 cases are rising and unemployment is historically high. Americans need help now."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
April 11, 2020

Sen. Lindsey Graham
Feb. 13, 2020
Release: Rep. Khanna, Majority Whip Clyburn, Sen. Bennet, Reps. Price and Clarke Introduce Legislation to Provide Legal Assistance to Tenants Facing Eviction
Rep. Jim Clyburn, ...
Feb. 7, 2020
Tweet - "New study finds that low-income workers should thank state minimum wage increases, not Trump, for their wage gains. To lift wages nationwide, the Senate must pass the Raise the Wage Act--and the President must sign it."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Jan. 14, 2020
Tweet - "I have long advocated for targeting persistent poverty communities with federal funding, including through my 10-20-30 plan, so we can help bridge the economic divide. That way towns like Pembroke Township get the infrastructure and investment they need."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Dec. 9, 2019

Sen. Tim Scott, ...
June 19, 2019

Feb. 7, 2019

Rep. Jim Clyburn
Oct. 3, 2018
