Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Missouri's 5th district, recently shared his insights and legislative efforts through a series of tweets. Cleaver, who has been in office since 2005 after succeeding Karen McCarthy, is actively engaged in addressing issues such as deed fraud and infrastructure development.

On November 18, 2024, Rep. Cleaver highlighted the issue of deed fraud, describing it as "a pervasive threat that demands immediate action from lawmakers at every level of government." He introduced the Good DEED Act to combat these fraudulent activities and protect Americans from losing their valuable properties. The full tweet can be accessed here.

Later that day, he discussed the impact of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law on Missouri's economy. According to Cleaver's post at 21:04 UTC, "The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has helped create more than 250,000 new jobs in Missouri and unleashed nearly $1.1 BILLION in private investment across the Show Me State." This statement underscores the law's success in fostering economic growth by prioritizing people over politics. The original tweet is available here.

In another tweet posted simultaneously at 21:04 UTC, Rep. Cleaver elaborated on how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law aids local infrastructure improvements. He stated that it assists in "repairing and replacing bridges throughout #MO05," which reduces congestion for drivers and enhances economic activity within communities.
