Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, who represents Virginia’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, shared updates on her recent legislative activities and community engagement through a series of posts on social media this week.
On December 3, 2025, McClellan highlighted her participation in a Congressional briefing with March of Dimes regarding their latest findings on infant and maternal health. She wrote, “This morning, I joined @MarchofDimes for a Congressional briefing on their 2025 Report Card on the state of infant and maternal health. For the fourth year in a row, the U.S. received a D+ with a preterm birth rate of 10.4% that heightens mortality risk for moms and babies.”
Later that day, she addressed broadband access concerns amid ongoing policy debates about technology deployment priorities. On December 3, 2025, McClellan posted: “All communities regardless of zip code deserve access to reliable broadband today and in the future.
As the Trump Administration seeks to prioritize lowest-cost technologies, I joined @EnergyCommerce Democrats to ensure federally funded broadband deployment projects don’t leave”
The following day, December 4, she recognized Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity’s anniversary by stating: “Happy 119th Founders’ Day to the men of @apa1906NETwork!”
