(22,628 posts)27. $15,000 in fines...but he's a millionaire so no worries.
Congressman Andrew Clyde is a combat veteran, small business owner, and a proud Georgian. After earning his commission from the University of Notre Dame, he served as an U.S. Navy officer for 28 years, which included three combat deployments to Kuwait and Iraq. After receiving an honorable discharge, Congressman Clyde made his home in Athens, Georgia and earned a masters degree in Corporate Finance and Entrepreneurship from the University of Georgia. He established Clyde Armory in 1991 and grew the company into a nationwide firearms business which currently operates two brick-and-mortar locations in Georgia. Congressman Clyde was elected to the 117th Congress in November 2020 as the representative for Georgias Ninth Congressional District. He and his wife, Jennifer, are residents of Jackson County and members of the Prince Avenue Baptist Church, where Congressman Clyde serves as a deacon. Congressman Clyde currently serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Homeland Security Committee.
Also he's a religious fanatic who provided material support to a crisis pregnancy center in the form of real estate, a 5,000-square-foot facility.
Assumed office on January 3, 2021 so he's off to a rip roaring start. Yee Ha!

Apparently a lot of the QGOP thought the 1-6 thugs were going to be able to distinguish their own...
