Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, who represents Virginia’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, recently took to social media to share her legislative efforts and remarks. McClellan succeeded Donald McEachin in 2023 and has been active in addressing environmental accountability among other issues.
On June 5, 2025, McClellan invited followers to “Watch my full remarks here:” providing a link for further viewing.
Later that day, she addressed environmental concerns with a pointed statement: “Polluters should not be able to pay their way out of accountability.” She elaborated on her introduction of an amendment aimed at preventing potential corruption related to natural gas pipeline permits within the “Big Ugly Budget Bill.” Her stance opposes what she describes as a “pay-to-pollute scheme” by House Republicans. This post was also tagged with @EnergyCommerce, indicating its relevance to the energy sector.
In another post made nearly simultaneously, McClellan again encouraged viewers to “Watch my full remarks here:” providing yet another link for those interested in her detailed commentary.
Jennifer McClellan is known for her long-standing political career which began in the Virginia House of Delegates and continued through service in the Virginia Senate before ascending to Congress. Born in Petersburg, Virginia, she resides in Richmond and holds degrees from both the University of Richmond and the University of Virginia.
