Former Democratic Whip Clyburn Endorses Meek, Cites Need for New Generation of Leadership

Today, Kendrick Meek for Congress announced the endorsement of Congressman Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, former House Democratic Whip and senior Member of the Congressional Black Caucus:

“I am profoundly honored to receive the endorsement of Congressman Jim Clyburn, a true titan of the Congress who has spent his entire life on the front lines of the fight for voting rights, equality, and economic progress.

“Congressman Clyburn didn't just witness history — he helped shape it, and he later brought that same fearless spirit to Washington, where he served alongside my grandmother, Congresswoman Carrie Meek, and my father, Congressman Kendrick Meek Sr.

“As Republicans attempt to weaken Black political power and erase our representation, I am ready to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with leaders like Congressman Clyburn, and fight for our community in Congress.”
