Richmond Leader

Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, who represents Virginia’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, shared a series of tweets on February 3, 2025. Her messages covered topics ranging from light-hearted local traditions to serious concerns about privacy and political integrity.

On February 3, 2025, McClellan celebrated Groundhog Day by highlighting a local tradition: "Forget Punxsutawney Phil, Virginia’s Chesapeake Chuck at @VLMuseum has been predicting the weather and Super Bowl champions since 2011 — this year with help from his friends Lux and Orion. In 2025, they foresee an early spring and a win for the Eagles!" She emphasized the role of Chesapeake Chuck alongside other animals in predicting both weather patterns and sports outcomes.

In another post made shortly after, McClellan shared a link without additional commentary: "https://t.co/85JkIwAake". The content or context of this link was not specified within the tweet itself.

Later that day, McClellan addressed issues related to privacy and political appointments. She stated: "The American people have a right to expect that their most sensitive information will be shielded from hyper-partisan political appointees — especially not an unvetted and unelected billionaire." This tweet pointed to concerns about safeguarding sensitive information from potentially biased individuals in positions of power.
