Today, I joined @uvalaw.bsky.social students and the Charlottesville community to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Swanson decision.
Gregory Swanson’s admission to the law school laid the foundation for desegregating UVA, opening the door for me to attend the law school 44 years later.
From Central to Southside to Southwest Virginia, I visited health care providers during the August recess to discuss how Medicaid cuts will harm Virginia’s health care safety net.
Last week, I visited a dental clinic in Abingdon and spoke about how I’m fighting to reverse these cuts.
Watch my full floor speech here:
We cannot meet our energy demands affordably without clean energy. Energy efficiency programs help reduce costs by reducing demand.
House Republicans’ energy appropriations bill undermines these goals by slashing the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy by nearly 50%.
I voted no.
August recess is over, and Congress is back in session with just 28 days before current funding expires at midnight on October 1st. Absent Congressional action by then, we face a government shutdown. So once again, the shutdown countdown begins…
Read what else you missed last week in my newsletter.
Addressing our water infrastructure needs will take local, state and federal officials coming together to find solutions. Our constituents deserve nothing less.
Yesterday, I joined @markwarner.bsky.social, elected and public utility officials to discuss how we can avoid future service disruptions.
Happy Labor Day!
It’s the last week of August recess. See what you may have missed.
For the past ten months, Erica Eisenman served in my office through the @aaas.org fellowship. In that time, she researched health care policy and assisted us during a hectic year.
Erica: You’ve been a delight to work with. We’ll miss having you around, but we’re excited to see what’s next for you!
Congressional Republicans voted for Medicaid cuts that will devastate our health care system. But it’s not too late to reverse that decision — and I’m still fighting back.
I joined @protectourcare.org and @protecthealthcare.medsky.social in Tazewell, Virginia to sound the alarm on Medicaid cuts.
The newest episode of Moments with McClellan just dropped!
Tune in as @beyer.house.gov and I discuss dysfunction in Washington and more. Link to the full interview below ⬇️
For our August recess episode of Moments with McClellan, I sat down with @beyer.house.gov!
Stay tuned for the full interview, where we discuss his experience balancing Congress and graduate school, the best job in Washington and more.
Community conversations help me better represent my constituents by allowing me to hear different perspectives.
Today, I hosted a town hall with the Richmond Office on Aging and Disability to hear stories, answer questions and address concerns about what’s happening in the federal government.
#WED2025 #ERANow @eracoalition.bsky.social
#WomensEqualityDay commemorates when the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote. But we need the ERA to achieve true equality.
I helped make Virginia the final state necessary to ratify the ERA. As co-chair of the ERA Caucus, I’m fighting to ensure it’s recognized as the 28th Amendment.
For many, rising costs are a constant concern. Despite Trump and Republicans’ promises to the American people, their policies are exacerbating the cost-of-living crisis in this country.
