Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, currently representing Virginia’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, has recently taken to social media to express her views on a range of issues. McClellan, who succeeded Donald McEachin in 2023 and has a longstanding career in public service, including terms in the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate, shared her thoughts through a series of tweets.
On May 21, 2025, at 2:28 AM UTC, McClellan tweeted about an impending meeting by the House Rules Committee. She criticized their budget proposal as one that would “add $3.8 trillion to the deficit, strip health insurance away from 13.7 million people,” while also claiming it would negatively impact millions of children and benefit the wealthiest individuals.
Later that day at 1:59 PM UTC, she reflected on the contributions of Gerry Connolly with high regard. She praised his dedication as a “servant leader” who consistently provided “a voice for the voiceless” and worked tirelessly to alleviate suffering among constituents despite numerous challenges.
In another post made simultaneously at 1:59 PM UTC, she included an image or link without accompanying text (here), suggesting further context or information related to her previous statement.
Jennifer McClellan was born in Petersburg, Virginia in 1972 and currently resides in Richmond. Her educational background includes a BA from the University of Richmond obtained in 1994 and a JD from the University of Virginia completed in 1997.
