Clyburn joined U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Senior Adviser to the President and Infrastructure Implementation Coordinator Mitch Landrieu at Claflin University on Friday to highlight the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to rebuilding America’s infrastructure in rural communities.
