Rep. Andrew Clyde, U.S. Congressman representing Georgia’s 9th district since 2021, used his social media account this week to address a series of legislative and policy issues including immigration, energy mandates, and federal firearms regulation.
On May 13, Clyde posted: “It’s time to fully repeal ‘Temporary’ Protected Status. My Territorial Protection & Sovereignty Act does just that.”
The following day, on May 14, he commented on the issue of ethanol fuel standards: “Permanent E15 without reforms will cause tremendous damage to pocketbooks, engines, and small refiners. I voted NO on expanding this costly, destructive, and burdensome government mandate.”
Later that same day, Clyde addressed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), stating: “The ATF has long operated as an agency at war with the American people. Thankfully, it’s no longer run by the gun grabbing Biden Administration. Yet we still must cut the ATF’s budget and defund unconstitutional regulations in order to PROTECT & RESTORE our 2A freedoms.”
Clyde was first elected to Congress in 2020 after defeating Devin Pandy in the general election with nearly 79% of the vote. He continued his electoral success in subsequent elections—winning against Michael Ford in 2022 with over 72% of ballots cast and again prevailing over Tambrei Cash in 2024 with almost 69%. Born in Walkerton, Ontario in 1963 and now residing in Athens at age 59, Clyde succeeded Doug Collins as representative for Georgia’s 9th district.
