This year, I secured over $10 million to benefit communities across Virginia’s Fourth. This week, I presented over $1 million to the City of Hopewell for stormwater infrastructure and over $1 million to Virginia State University to launch its Center for Generative AI and Industrial Cybersecurity.

I’m always excited by the opportunity to make a real and tangible impact on the communities I represent. Yesterday, I presented Hopewell with a check for over $1 million to invest in the city’s stormwater infrastructure.
What better way to celebrate #TeacherAppreciationDay than to spotlight an educator, National Teacher of the Year and fellow historymaker @repjahanahayes.bsky.social! Watch my latest episode of Moments of McClellan where we discuss being a mom while serving in Congress, feeding hungry kids and more.
This week, we kicked off celebrating America’s 250th birthday with Virginia’s Tribal Nations and a royal visit, House Republicans struggled to govern, the DHS shutdown ended with a whimper and SCOTUS dealt a blow to the Voting Rights Act. Keep watching for more of what you may have missed.
Our farmers face a series of challenges with the climate crisis and rising costs, in an industry that operates on tight margins. Until Republicans work with Democrats to develop a bill that gives our farmers the resources they need, I will continue to stand against their misplaced priorities.
This bill undermines public health by cutting funding for conservation and protecting the $187 billion in cuts to nutrition programs made in the Big Ugly Law — condemning families and children to go hungry. For these reasons, I voted no until we put forth a bill that addresses these issues.
It does not provide any additional funding for programs serving new or underserved farmers or rural small businesses, and it ignores the request from specialty crop farmers for $5 billion in economic relief.
As family farmers struggle to recover from the $54 billion in losses they’ve suffered under this Administration, this bill does not provide any additional farm assistance to help them offset the damage done from tariffs, rising input costs and low commodity prices.
As the backbone of our economy, our farmers deserve action from Congress that doesn’t take them for granted. Yet this latest Farm Bill spearheaded by House Republicans does little to address this uncertainty.
Since coming to Congress, I’ve met with farmers all across my district to hear their concerns for the future, where they’ve expressed anxiety over their finances, upended by rising costs and an economic crisis caused by the Trump Administration’s senseless tariff war.
As the #1 private industry in the Commonwealth, Virginia boasts a large agricultural sector. We rely heavily on our farms, 90% of which are family-owned, to keep families fed and ensure our local economies and communities thrive. Here’s why the Republican Farm Bill fails to deliver for farmers 🧵
As Trump’s war with Iran spikes energy costs, Republicans have focused on stripping investment from renewable energy that could help us combat this crisis. Today’s Energy Subcommittee hearing focused on meeting exploding demand affordably is a day late and a dollar short. We can and must do more.
The vast majority of Americans across the political spectrum do not want FISA to be reauthorized in its current state. I oppose authorization without reforms to protect privacy rights and civil liberties from an Administration that seeks to weaponize these tools to target its political enemies.
The language of the Fourth Amendment clearly protects the people from unreasonable searches and seizures. Instead of upholding our constitutional rights, Speaker Johnson chose to bend the knee to the Trump Administration’s goals of conducting widespread, unchecked surveillance of the public.
