Today marks the fifth anniversary of the passing of civil rights giant Congressman John Lewis. This week, I anchored the Congressional Black Caucus Special Order Hour sharing his final message of hope and perseverance to the nation.
This summer has been dominated by extreme weather events. With climate change, these challenges will only grow stronger. I led 32 of my colleagues to recognize the threat of extreme weather to children’s health and well-being. We must protect our next generation with environment-forward policies.
Your ability to access contraception should not depend on where you live. The decision of when, whether and how to become a parent should be yours. Today, I joined @repfletcher.bsky.social and @markey.senate.gov for a Shadow Hearing on protecting the right to contraception in the post-Roe era.
In honor of her 161st birthday, today I highlight the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site in Richmond for National Parks and Recreation Month. Maggie broke barriers as the first Black woman to charter and serve as president of a U.S. bank. Her home offers a look into her personal life.

SCOTUS has let Trump proceed with mass layoffs at the Department of Education. These employees fill gaps left by state governments to ensure all students have what they need to succeed. Students — especially those with disabilities — will fall through these gaps. Our communities will suffer for it.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration protects our telecomms industry — but in a new tech landscape, we risk falling behind. Today the House passed my bipartisan bill with Rep. Obernolte to equip NTIA with the authority to advance innovation and address cybersecurity risks.
After Republicans rammed through permanent tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy at the expense of the poor and middle class, I heard from so many constituents concerned about what the Big Ugly Bill will mean for our healthcare system, food assistance, and state budgets. Read more in my newsletter below ⬇️
Not only does the Big Ugly Bill make it harder to access health and food benefits, it hurts our ability to work toward a clean future. By slashing renewable energy credits and rewarding the coal industry, Republicans could derail clean energy projects — raising costs for the American people.
The Big Ugly Bill essentially leaves state legislators with a choice: raise taxes or cut essential services across the board. This lose-lose situation was entirely avoidable. But Congressional Republicans prioritized tax cuts for billionaires over everybody else.
The House was in recess this week as Trump’s Big Ugly Bill became law and the ramifications began to set in. Keep watching to see how I’m sounding the alarm on the dangers of this bill in Virginia and beyond.
July is Park and Recreation Month! Join me in celebrating the parks and recreation professionals across VA-04 who help our communities #BuildTogetherPlayTogether. From historic sites to nature trails to recreation facilities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.  What’s your favorite park?

Today marks #BlackWomensEqualPayDay. Black women had to work an extra 190 days to reach the median of what white men earned in 2024.  As a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, I’m working to close the wage gap and fight for fair compensation for everyone.

Medicaid cuts will devastate our health care system, especially in rural communities. Today, I joined @seiu.org Virginia State Council, @protectourcare.org VA and @protecthealthcare.medsky.social to sound the alarm on the impact Medicaid cuts will have on Virginia.
Ratified OTD in 1868, the 14th Amendment provides a cornerstone to American civil rights by guaranteeing citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the U.S. and providing equal protection under the law. It was a critical step in making the ideals upon which this country was founded true.
Graphic. Background is crumpled paper. Text reads, “FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT, SECTION 1. ‘All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.’” Logo of Rep. McClellan is present at the bottom center of the page.
