Clyburn (SC-06) released the following statement after he was named Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development. Clyburn will also serve on the House Appropriations Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies and Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittees.\n\n\u201cI am honored and humbled to be Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development in the 119th Congress,\u201d said Congressman James E. Clyburn. \u201cI\u2019ve dedicated much of my time in Congress securing federal investments in rural and underserved communities, especially those that have been historically neglected, and these subcommittees will help facilitate my efforts to properly address the dreams and aspirations of my constituents.\n\n\u201cI have long advocated for expanding broadband infrastructure, developing affordable housing and implementing cost-effective energy measures. It is my priority to employ innovative economic development and anti-poverty tools to target federal funds where they are needed and can do the most good for the most people.\n\n\u201cI look forward to continuing to work with Ranking Member DeLauro, Chairman Cole, and my distinguished colleagues to deliver for the families of South Carolina and make America\u2019s greatness accessible and affordable to all.\u201d\n\nCongressman Clyburn served on the House Appropriations Committee until 2007, when ascended into Democratic leadership positions, serving as Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Vice Chair, and Chair of the House Democratic Caucus. He served twice as Majority Whip and twice as Assistant Democratic Leader. From 2019 to 2022 he served as Chair of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis.\n\nClyburn\u2019s 10-20-30 federal funding formula, initiated in three accounts in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, has been expanded to 15 accounts of the appropriations bills, and his Rural Energy Savings Program has supported $500 million in loans to rural electric cooperatives since 2016.
