Excited to announce this year’s VA-04 winner of the Congressional Art Competition: Gabrielle Williams, a junior at Thomas Dale HS, will see her artwork hang in the Capitol. “American Dream” is about the ongoing theft of Black culture. Congrats to Gabrielle and all of the other winners!

ICYMI: I joined @ryanobles.bsky.social to discuss SCOTUS’s gutting of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais — and how it opened the door for Southern states to dilute Black voting strength.

Children deserve the freedom to explore, learn and play independently. Parents must ensure they do so safely. I spoke with @daveress.bsky.social at @richmond.com about how my bipartisan bill with Rep. Blake Moore will help parents strike the right balance.

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan (VA-04) and Congressman Chris Deluzio (PA-17) introduced H.R 8853 to expand grant funding opportunities for Amtrak, a cornerstone of the U.S....

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govMay 16(source)

We must continue expanding passenger rail, especially as skyrocketing fuel prices make life increasingly unaffordable. This week, I introduced the Amtrak Grant Flexibility Act with @deluzio.house.gov to open the door to billions of dollars in new funding for our Amtrak system.

Are the FCC's DEI probes an abuse of power? These Democrats think so

House Democrats accused the Trump-appointed FCC chair Brendan Carr of exceeding his regulatory reach in investigating Disney and other companies' DEI.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govMay 15(source)

The FCC serves the public interest, not a political agenda. But Trump’s FCC Chairman has sought to weaponize the agency to advance their “anti-woke” political agenda. I led 17 of my colleagues to call out this abuse of power.

The Voting Rights Act was a watershed moment for Black political participation. Now that SCOTUS has gutted Section 2, we see state legislatures in the South moving to erase that progress. I led the @cbc.house.gov Special Order Hour about the impact of Louisiana v. Callais.

For 25 years, the Roadless Rule has protected millions of acres of national forests and grasslands. Yet the Trump Administration wants to open these lands to development, putting our lands, their ecosystems and more at risk. I joined @earthjustice.org, lawmakers and advocates to fight back.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govMay 14(source)

As gas prices skyrocket, House Republicans again refuse to bring our troops home from President Trump’s war of choice in Iran. With no end in sight, I voted to end this madness.

House vote on Iran war powers resolution fails for third time

The vote on a Democratic resolution to rein in Mr. Trump's authority to strike Iran was 212-212, falling just short of a majority.

To meet exploding energy demand affordably, the U.S. must modernize its energy grid and permitting procedures. At an Energy Subcommittee hearing, I focused on the need to strike the right balance between federal and state action to meet our electricity transmission needs.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govMay 14(source)

Trump promised to bring down costs for the American people. Instead, he’s driven them up with tariff wars, a war in Iran and disastrous policies. Now, he wants $1 billion for his White House ballroom vanity project. I joined Steve Scully on @siriusxmprog.bsky.social to discuss this and more.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govMay 13(source)

After being subjected to unacceptable conditions, Carriage House residents were kept in the dark and have no clarity into when, whether or how to evacuate. My team and I are communicating with officials and the property owners to get information and ensure these residents have a place to stay.
