Richmond Leader

Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, representing Virginia's 4th district, shared her perspectives on the Republican budget plan through a series of tweets. Her statements focused on the implications of the reconciliation process and its potential impact on essential programs and services.

On February 13, 2025, McClellan addressed the concept of "reconciliation" in a tweet. She described it as "a procedural way for Republicans to cut Democrats out of the budget process so they can cut Medicaid, SNAP and other crucial programs to fund tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk." She mentioned that Representative Gabe Amo provided further explanation on this issue.

Later that day, McClellan tweeted about the broader implications of the Republican budget plan. She stated that "the Republican budget plan hurts hardworking Americans — slashing popular and essential health care, childcare and nutrition services to give tax cuts to billionaires." She highlighted concerns about increased prices and limited access to healthcare and food in her district, VA-04.

In a subsequent tweet posted at almost the same time, McClellan encouraged constituents to "see the impacts in your district here," providing a link for further information.
