There’s plenty of noise, drama, and personalities in the current state of American politics. Yet it really all comes down to one simple question: 

Are you better off today than you were four years ago?

No matter where you look, the obvious answer is no. 

But don’t just take my word for it…

💲 On the Economy

• President Trump delivered an affordable American Dream, created more than 7 million jobs, produced the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years, secured substantial tax cuts for hard working Americans, fostered tremendous wage growth, and reached remarkably low mortgage rates.
• The Biden-Harris Administration has burdened Americans with skyrocketing inflation, ballooned our national debt, recklessly wasted your hard-earned tax dollars on the Left’s Big Government Socialist agenda, erroneously taken credit for post-pandemic return of jobs, proposed the largest tax hike in history, delivered wage decline, and supplied American workers and families with a disastrous housing affordability crisis.

🔒 On the Border

• President Trump fully enforced our immigration laws, hit the lowest amount of illegal alien border crossings in 40 years, built nearly 500 miles of border wall, ended catch and release, negotiated the successful Remain in Mexico policy, and prosecuted a record number of immigration-related cases.
• The Biden-Harris Administration has taken more than 90 executive actions to reverse President Trump’s border security policies, welcomed more than 10 million illegal aliens into our communities — including over 600,000 convicted criminals, allowed deadly fentanyl to flood our country, weaponized the CBP One App to fast-track illegal aliens’ entry into the U.S., and emboldened more than 380 suspected terrorists to cross the border.

⚡ On Energy 

• President Trump delivered record-low gas prices, led the United States to become a net energy exporter for the first time in nearly 70 years, fully unleashed American energy production, cut burdensome regulations, and ensured our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) had over 638 million barrels of oil (90% full) when he left office.
• The Biden-Harris Administration has delivered historically high gas prices, forced Americans to pay more than $4,400 on energy costs, killed the Keystone XL Pipeline, taken more than 200 actions to make it harder to produce energy in the U.S., recklessly allowed our SPR to hit 40-year lows, and announced a radical electric vehicle mandate.

🌏 On the World Stage 

• President Trump broke decades of precedent by starting no new wars, brokered a historic Middle East peace deal known as the Abraham Accords, forced NATO members to increase their spending, defeated ISIS, eliminated Iranian terrorist General Qasem Soleimani, and ensured America was not just respected but feared across the world. 
• The Biden-Harris Administration severely botched our withdrawal from Afghanistan, failed to stand up to our adversaries — emboldening Russia to invade Ukraine and Iran-backed Hamas terrorists to attack Israel, appeased Iran, and has ultimately displayed tremendous weakness on the world stage.

Folks, I think it’s safe to say that only illegal aliens are better off today than they were four years ago…

But in all seriousness, we must get our country back on track — which can only be done through policy.

It’s simple: Policy over personality. Policies are what actually impact our daily lives. Everything else is background noise — the Left’s desperate attempt to distract you from what really matters and distort the truth to hide their failed record.

In the final days of one of the most pivotal contests in American history, please join me in praying for the future, success, and safety of our great nation.

I want to hear from you!

Rep. Clyde Meets with Owner Danny Irvin

Back in April, I pressed Attorney General Merrick Garland on whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) would prosecute non-citizens who vote in our federal elections. At the time, he claimed the Department would investigate and hold anyone involved in violating federal voting laws accountable. Now, the Biden-Harris DOJ is changing its tune.

As you may know, the DOJ recently sued the State of Virginia in response to Governor Glenn Youngkin’s work to remove non-citizens from its voter rolls. In an effort to ensure only U.S. citizens vote in our elections, Virginia recently removed more than 6,000 non-citizens. Yet between the DOJ and a Biden-appointed federal district judge, the Left is working to restore over 1,600 individuals who were taken off the State’s voter registration list during the 90-day window before the election. Youngkin and his Attorney General, who fairly argue that Virginia is simply enforcing a State law signed by former Democrat Governor Tim Kaine in 2006, appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Thankfully, the Supreme Court granted Virginia’s emergency stay to keep these non-citizens off its voter rolls.

I’m grateful that our constitutionalists on the Supreme Court stepped in to protect the integrity of our elections. Yet this entire saga is a powerful reminder of why my conservative colleagues and I fought so hard for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. This critical legislation would have established clear, nationwide standards to ensure only Americans vote in American elections. Specifically, the SAVE Act would require proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration and instruct states to establish programs to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls. Radical Democrats repeatedly claimed this bill was unnecessary since non-citizens aren’t registered to vote. Now, they’re actively fighting to greenlight thousands of non-citizens to vote in the most important election in our nation’s history.

Folks, election integrity isn’t partisan; it’s the foundation of our Republic. I’m incredibly proud of the work the Peach State has done to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat, and I have faith that this principle will supersede the Left’s deceitful tactics. 

Persimmon Baptist Church & Rabun County Station 1’s Hurricane Relief Efforts

As folks across Western North Carolina work to rebuild their mountain towns devastated by Hurricane Helene, local heroes of Rabun County emerged to help impacted communities. Following news of the widespread destruction, Persimmon Baptist Church and emergency personnel from Rabun County Station 1 sprang into action — becoming beacons of support by uniting Northeast Georgians to serve those in need. Together, they collaborated to set up a collection site and encouraged folks throughout Rabun County to donate critical supplies. While their goal was to fill a single 15-foot U-Haul trailer, they far exceeded expectations — filling multiple U-Hauls and pickup trucks with bottled water, canned food, diapers, and more. Thanks to overwhelming community support, families in Black Mountain, NC received essential supplies during an unimaginably difficult time.

The Ninth District’s relief initiatives exemplify the power of faith and fellowship in times of crisis. It reminds us that when disaster strikes, communities can come together to make an incredible impact, offering not just supplies but hope to those in need.
