In our Season 3 finale, Just Politics engages in conversation with one of the fiercest advocates for democracy in U.S. politics today: Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, the assistant leader of the House Democratic Caucus. A lifelong champion for civil rights, Rep. Clyburn sees the connection between policies that improve people's daily lives and the strengthening of democracy. He is also a person of faith who recognizes the valuable role that faith plays in U.S. politics, helping connect people with the values that build a more just society for everyone.
