Early life, education and career
Cleaver was born in Waxahachie, Texas, the son of Marie (née McKnight) and
Lucky G. Cleaver.[1] He grew up in public housing in Wichita Falls, Texas. He
graduated from Prairie View A&M University where he became a member of
Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Cleaver then moved to Kansas City where he founded
a branch of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and received a Master
of Divinity degree from St. Paul School of Theology.
Cleaver has been the pastor at the St. James United Methodist Church in Kansas
City Missouri from March 1972 until June 28, 2009.[2]
Early political career
Cleaver served as Kansas City Councilman from 1979 to 1991 and as Mayor of Kansas City for two terms from 1991 until 1999. He
was the first African American Mayor of Kansas City. During the last days of his tenure as Mayor, Reverend Cleaver agreed to an
international visit to London, England. On the invitation of UK NGO Operation Black Vote he assisted in campaigning for increased
electoral participation in the elections for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. His visit culminated in a keynote speech
at Westminster City Hall alongside British political figures including Ken Livingstone, Simon Hughes and Lee Jasper. Cleaver is a

2. cousin to exiled Kansas City Black Panther leader Pete O'Neal. In 1997, Cleaver attempted unsuccessfully to obtain a pardon for
O'Neal from President Bill Clinton.[3]
U.S. House of Representatives
After the compromise Budget Control Act deal had been reached to resolve the 2011 United States debt ceiling crisis in August
2011, Cleaver wrote on Twitter calling it a "sugar-coated Satan sandwich."[4]
Committee assignments
Committee on Financial Services
Subcommittee on Insurance, Housing and Community Opportunity (Ranking Member)
Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology
Caucus membership
Congressional Black Caucus (Chair)
Congressional Cement Caucus
Congressional Serbian Caucus
Tenure
During his tenure, Cleaver has voted with the Democratic Party 95.8% of the time.[5] He has been recognized as a congressman who
is "not shy about earmarks" and has brought many tax dollars back to Kansas City.[6]
Cleaver has called for ethics charges against fellow U.S. Representatives Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters to be dropped, saying
"The process has been tainted."[7]
Loan default
On April 6, 2012, the Kansas City Star reported that Bank of America had sued Cleaver Company LLC over a commercial real
estate loan for a Grandview car wash. In a lawsuit filed March 30, Bank of America said Cleaver, his wife Dianne, and the company
owed over $1.46 million on the loan.[8][9]
Office attack
On September 11, 2014 around 2:50 a.m. what appeared to be a Molotov cocktail was thrown through the window of Cleaver's
Kansas City office. He was in Washington D.C. at the time and no staff members were present during the attack.[10]
Political campaigns
In late 2003, Karen McCarthy, who had represented the 5th Congressional District since 1995, announced her retirement. Despite
having served in city government for 20 years, including eight years as mayor, Cleaver initially posted weak numbers in the
Democratic primary and general elections. Cleaver went on to defeat former Clinton Administration official Jamie Metzl in the
Democratic primary by a margin of 60-40 percent. In the general election, Republican Jeanne Patterson made the race far more
competitive than conventional wisdom would suggest for the district, which has long been reckoned as the second-most Democratic
district in Missouri (behind the St. Louis-based 1st Congressional District). The Democrats have held this seat for all but eight years
since 1909, and without interruption since 1949. By comparison, McCarthy won 65 percent of the vote in 2002.
2008 Democratic Presidential Primary Election
During the course of the contentious 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary, Cleaver endorsed Hillary Clinton.[11] Cleaver claimed
that African American superdelegates who supported Clinton were subjected to harassment, threatened with primary opponents and
called “Uncle Tom.” He said they were told, “You’re not black if you’re not supporting Barack Obama. … It's ugly.”[12] On March
30, 2008, he was interviewed on The Sunday Edition on CBC Radio and said he realized he was on the losing team: "Even though I

don't expect the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Indianapolis Colts, I cheer for the Kansas
City Chiefs." [13] According to BlackMissouri.com (http://BlackMissouri.com).,[14] U.S.
Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois asked Cleaver, “If it comes down to the last day
and you’re the only superdelegate? … Do you want to go down in history as the one to
prevent a black from winning the White House?" “I told him I’d think about it," Cleaver
explained. Cleaver said during the course of the primary he'd be shocked if Obama wasn't the
next President but made it clear he still supported Clinton until she suspended her bid.
