    H CURRENT MEMBERS H James E. Clyburn 1940– UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRAT FROM SOUTH CAROLINA 1993– James E. (Jim) Clyburn’s 1992 election made him the first African American from South Carolina to serve in Congress since the late 19th century. Representative Clyburn has won re-election to seven additional terms, serving as chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and winning a seat on the influential House Appropriations Committee. On November 16, 2006, the House Democratic Image courtesy of the Member Caucus unanimously elected Clyburn Majority Whip, making him the first South Carolinian and the second African American to ascend to the third-ranking position in the House.1 James E. Clyburn was born in Sumter, South Carolina, on July 21, 1940, the eldest of three sons of Enos L. Clyburn, a minister, and Almeta Clyburn, a beauty shop operator. At age 12, he was elected president of the Sumter youth chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. A client of his mother’s once warned him against giving voice to his early political aspirations in the segregated South. “We knew what the rules were. I mean, a 12-year-old black kid talking about being in politics and government?” Clyburn recalled of that formative moment. “She was just telling me, ‘Son, be careful, you can’t have those kinds of dreams—you’re not the right color.’”2 He attended Mather Academy, a private all- black high school. Clyburn graduated from South Carolina State College in 1961 with a bachelor of arts degree. During the 1950s and 1960s, he organized sit-ins at an Orangeburg, South Carolina, five and dime store and was arrested and jailed for his participation in nonviolent civil rights protests.3 During one such protest he met his future wife, the former Emily England; they have three grown daughters: Mignon, Angela, and Jennifer.

Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act (i.e., H.R. 3), to urge Congress to keep any international reference pricing proposals (including "International Pricing Index" or "Most Favored Nation") out of drug pricing reform legislation. International reference pricing will have an outsized negative impact on people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), as well as decimate the clinical development of therapies for ADRD and other complex co-occurring medical conditions experienced by many people living with ADRD. Additionally, such reference pricing would undermine critical elements of the Affordable Care Act, the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the 2020 DNC Platform while exacerbating health disparities in direct contradiction of the Biden Administration's core promise to advance health equity.

  • Participation in the Political Process Policy
    Waste Management Policy Participation in the Political Process January 2021 Waste Management is actively engaged in the political process at all levels of government. Through years of collaboration, we have developed an excellent record of working with communities, environmental organizations, legislators and customers on public policy issues. Even when discussions are challenging and provoke disagreement, we remain committed to open communication and finding common ground with our stakeholders. Operating in a heavily regulated industry, we believe this engagement is a necessary part of our leadership in the environmental services industry, and it ensures that we represent the best interests of our business, our shareholders and our employees. POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS We periodically make financial contributions to candidates who we believe recognize the value of the services we provide and the importance of environmental sustainability along with a fair, free-market approach as the best way to deliver cost-effective services. All political contributions are to promote the business interests of the company, as they may be affected by public policy decisions, without regard to political preferences of Waste Management executives. We do not expect the candidates to whom we contribute to always agree with our positions on all issues. Contributions made to candidates must comply with company policy, and all applicable, federal, state and local laws. CONTRIBUTIONS PROCESS, CRITERIA AND DISCLOSURE Waste Management’s Government Affairs Department is responsible for executing the company’s policy and advocacy agenda. All contributions made to political candidates must be authorized by the Government Affairs Department. Contributions are made with funds from the Waste Management Employees Better Government Fund Political Action Committee (WMPAC) or, where legally permissible, corporate dollars.
