Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, representing Virginia's 4th district, recently addressed concerns regarding proposed Republican budget cuts through a series of tweets. McClellan has been serving in the U.S. Congress since 2023 and has a background in law and politics, having previously served in the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate.

On February 19, 2025, McClellan tweeted about potential impacts on vulnerable groups if certain coverage is lost due to the proposed budget cuts. She stated that "Elderly and disabled adults. Individuals who need breast or cervical cancer treatment. Pregnant and postpartum mothers. People with disabilities, chronic health conditions and behavioral needs" would be affected across the Commonwealth.

In another tweet posted on the same day, she encouraged constituents to "Learn more about how proposed Republican budget cuts will impact your community." A link was provided for further information.

Additionally, McClellan expressed her stance on these efforts by stating that "these Republican efforts to gut popular and essential services won't help the American people." She emphasized that House Democrats are prepared to create a budget plan ensuring support for all individuals.
