Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, representing Missouri's 5th district in the U.S. Congress since 2005, recently shared his views on various issues via social media. Cleaver addressed concerns related to agricultural funding, housing affordability, and legislative efforts.
On February 12, 2025, Rep. Cleaver criticized the Trump Administration for its "reckless funding freezes," which he claims have impacted Missouri farmers adversely. According to him, these freezes include "agricultural funding from the Inflation Reduction Act," preventing farmers from receiving federal reimbursements for their investments in new equipment and infrastructure. He emphasized that "The chaos must end!"
Later that day, Rep. Cleaver turned his attention to housing issues, asserting that "Housing is the #1 driver of inflation." He argued that affordable housing should be a bipartisan priority in Congress but accused his Republican colleagues of prioritizing corporate landlords over reducing costs for working-class families.
In another post made on February 12, 2025, Rep. Cleaver highlighted ongoing efforts by the U.S. House Financial Services Committee to secure necessary investments in housing affordability as he serves as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance. He mentioned advocating for significant legislation such as "The Housing Crisis Response Act" to address America's housing affordability crisis.
