Richmond Leader

Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, representing Virginia's 4th district, has been actively engaging with her constituents and addressing significant issues through a series of tweets. Her posts reflect on local government interactions, recent tragic events, and her stance on the current administration's actions.

On January 30, 2025, Congresswoman McClellan shared her engagement with local governments in Chesterfield, Henrico, and Richmond. She discussed their priorities and concerns regarding the Trump Administration’s efforts to freeze federal grants and loans. "Today, I continued my VA-04 local government check-ins with Chesterfield, Henrico, and Richmond to discuss their priorities and concerns over the Trump Administration’s efforts to freeze federal grants and loans."

Later that day, McClellan expressed condolences for the families affected by a collision involving Flight 5342 and a U.S. Army helicopter over DCA. She thanked first responders for their efforts during the crisis. "My prayers are with the families of the passengers of Flight 5342 and the U.S. Army helicopter lost in last night’s collision over DCA."

On January 31, 2025, she emphasized the need for unity in addressing the causes of such incidents while criticizing President Trump's response as divisive. She mentioned discussing this issue on CNN with Laura Coates. "The DCA collision demands that we come together to find the cause and take action to ensure similar tragedies don’t happen again."
