“Congressman Clyburn is proud of his record supporting Democratic candidates and helping to grow the Democratic Party across the country through his Leadership PAC. Thanks in part to his efforts campaigning on behalf of and contributing to Democratic candidates, the Democrats won back the majority the U.S. House of Representatives in November,” said Clyburn spokeswoman Hope Derrick. “Congressman Clyburn has been a long-time advocate for campaign finance reform and believes the current system favors candidates with personal wealth and those from wealthy communities. Until that system is changed, he will continue to do his part under this current structure as the third ranking Democrat in the House to support his fellow Democratic candidates.”
