Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, representing Virginia’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, recently shared her views on social media regarding a significant political development and her own community engagement efforts.
On February 13, 2025, McClellan criticized the Senate’s confirmation of an individual she describes as “an anti-vaxxer and misinformation superspreader” for the position of Secretary of Health. She expressed concern that this person “peddles racist tropes” instead of promoting healthcare access and trust in science. Her full statement on Robert F. Kennedy Jr., referred to as RFK Jr., can be read here.
Later that day, McClellan posted a link to further details or context related to her earlier tweet at this link.
In addition to addressing national issues, McClellan also focused on local engagement with her constituents. On February 13, 2025, she announced the start of her Tele-Town Hall Meeting and invited participation by phone or through a livestream available on her website. The invitation was made public via a tweet found here.
