1988 - U.S. House of Representatives - James McClure Clarke - "Pay Raise Refund", 1988-01-01 - 1988-12-31
Scope and Contents
In this political advertisement, Jamie Clark, upon returning to Congress and receiving an automatic 16% pay raise, chose to donate the additional money back to the U.S. Treasury each month, believing it was inappropriate to accept a raise during a time of widespread financial hardship. The ad suggests that while this action won't balance the budget, it serves as a symbolic gesture against accepting higher pay under such circumstances.
