This week, we witnessed the peaceful transfer of power, only to watch the Trump-Vance Administration create chaos. Here are some highlights from this week.

McClellan Statement on the House Republican GOP Health Care Surveillance Act

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan (VA-04), Chair of the Abortion Rights and Access Task Force for the Reproductive Freedom Caucus, issued the following statement after she vot...

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 24(source)

Today, I voted against the House GOP Reproductive Health Care Surveillance Act. This bill inserts Washington politicians into heartbreaking medical decisions that should be left to patients and their providers. Read my full statement here.

Statement graphic on the House GOP Reproductive Health Care Surveillance Act. Text reads:

“It has taken House Republicans all of three weeks to renew their attacks on the reproductive freedom of families in Virginia and across the country. The House GOP Reproductive Health Care Surveillance Act severely restricts medical options for patients experiencing heartbreaking and life-threatening situations and criminalizes health care providers.

“Time and time again, the American people have rebuffed efforts to restrict reproductive freedom and interfere with medical decisions that should be left to patients and their providers, not politicians in Washington. Yet House Republicans use intentionally misleading language to conceal their unpopular agenda to insert themselves into these extremely difficult decisions and block access to comprehensive reproductive health services.

“The House GOP Reproductive Health Care Surveillance Act fabricates a problem that does not exist. Providers already have an obligation to provide appropriate medical care. Any insinuation to the contrary is both false and dangerous. I strongly oppose this bill and urge my Senate colleagues to vote against it.”

Today is #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay! As someone who nearly died in childbirth, I know what’s at stake. Black mothers are three times as likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. This is unacceptable and entirely preventable. In Washington, I'll fight for better resources.

The 24th Amendment eliminating the poll tax became law 61 years ago today. I took my oath of office on the Bible in which Dad kept his poll tax receipt as a daily reminder of his struggle for the sacred right to vote. I will always fight to protect that sacred right.

Washington, D.C. – Today, Representatives Jennifer L. McClellan (D-VA-04) and Mike Lawler (R-NY-17) introduced H.R. 641, the Coordination for Soil Carbon Research and Monitoring Act, to empower the fe...

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 23(source)

We know that soil carbon sequestration could be an invaluable tool in bolstering productivity for farmers. That's why I introduced a bill with Congressman Lawler to support these efforts — which help rural communities and combat the climate crisis.

McClellan Statement on the Laken Riley Act

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan (VA-04) issued the following statement after she voted against S. 5, the Senate-amended version of the Laken Riley Act, to protect immigrant ...

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 22(source)

My statement on the passage of the Laken Riley Act.

Statement graphic on the Laken Riley Act. Text reads:

“Last Congress, congressional leadership negotiated a strong bipartisan immigration reform bill to secure the southern border. We were fully prepared to advance the legislation, but Donald Trump urged his conference to kill the bill for political reasons. Now, congressional Republicans seek to exploit Laken Riley’s tragic death as a means to pass this overreaching anti-immigrant legislation.

“Under current law, any undocumented immigrant arrested or convicted of a felony can be detained without bail and deported. This bill goes even farther to mandate detention and deportation of any undocumented immigrant merely charged with or arrested for certain crimes, even if charges are dropped or they are found not guilty. This bill clearly oversteps and undermines due process, paving the way for immigrants to be deported without regard to innocence or guilt.

“I remain ready and willing to develop a comprehensive, bipartisan immigration and border security bill, but I will not support unconstitutional overreaching that undermines long-held American values of due process that assumes people innocent until they are proven guilty in a court of law.”

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 22(source)

Grateful for the trust placed in me by my @reprocaucus.bsky.social colleagues to chair the Abortion Rights & Access Task Force! In the 119th Congress, I'll fight to protect reproductive freedom and access to abortion.
