Richmond Leader

Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, representing Virginia’s 4th district, has recently addressed several issues on her social media platform. McClellan, who took office in 2023 following the tenure of Donald McEachin, has been vocal about economic and caregiving matters.

On November 26, 2024, Congresswoman McClellan commented on a proposed policy by former President Donald Trump. She expressed concerns that "Trump's plan to impose tariffs will drive up prices on food and everyday essentials." McClellan stated her readiness to support a bipartisan solution that she believes would benefit working families.

The following day, November 27, 2024, she acknowledged National Family Caregivers Month through a tweet highlighting the dedication of family caregivers. She noted that "Family caregivers devote time and energy to care for loved ones with little or no pay or recognition." Furthermore, she affirmed her commitment to supporting them in Congress.

In another tweet posted shortly after on the same day, McClellan addressed the challenges faced by family caregivers in balancing their responsibilities. She mentioned that "Family caregivers often struggle to balance caring for a loved one and self-care." The congresswoman provided tips aimed at assisting those particularly in the sandwich generation.
