Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, currently representing Missouri’s 5th District in the U.S. Congress, has voiced his concerns on various matters related to workers' rights and economic policies. With a longstanding career in public service since taking office in 2005, his recent social media activity highlights his stance on key issues.
On March 28, 2025, Rep. Cleaver criticized "union busting" efforts from both high-level federal entities and large corporations. He asserted that "@HouseDemocrats will stand with American workers and push back against this blatant attempt to undermine collective bargaining rights."
In a separate post on the same day, Cleaver expressed concern for Missouri's senior citizens, highlighting that "President Trump and Elon Musk’s reckless cuts to the Social Security Administration are putting those hard-earned benefits in jeopardy." Cleaver reiterated his commitment to "fighting to protect Social Security and the civil servants."
Further addressing economic issues, Cleaver remarked on the implications of tariff policies, stating on March 28, 2025, that "President Trump’s tariff taxes and reckless economic policies are already helping to reignite inflation and raise costs for American families." He suggested action should be taken to avoid a potential economic downturn.
