(Washington, DC) – Sixth District Congressman James E. Clyburn issued the following statement today on hearing of the death of State Representative Alex Harvin:
"Alex Harvin was a great friend to me, the people of ClarendonCounty, and all South Carolinians. Alex never met a stranger or a person he wasn't willing to help. His compassion for others and his abiding commitment to this State were the hallmarks of his public service. Alex's presence always loomed larger than his stature, and his loss has left a void that will be difficult to fill."
