By: Victor Greene

Richmond, VA – U.S. Representative Jennifer McClellan (D-VA-04) released a statement following Virginia’s June 17 primary elections, commending the strong Democratic turnout and emphasizing voter dissatisfaction with Republican leadership at the national level. According to preliminary data, Democratic participation increased compared to previous cycles, signaling heightened voter engagement heading into November.

“The high Democratic turnout in Tuesday’s primary elections shows that Virginians are eager to send a message that they’re sick of the chaos coming out of Washington,” said McClellan. “Across Virginia, voters see that the Trump Administration’s reckless policies have damaged our economy, raised the cost of living, threatened healthcare, and traumatized federal workers.”

“I enthusiastically support the Democratic ticket of Abigail Spanberger, Ghazala Hashmi and Jay Jones,” McClellan said. “This ticket brings experience serving Virginians at different levels of government and in our communities. Abigail Spanberger has spent her life protecting our country and serving our Commonwealth, and she will bring a common-sense approach to leading our state forward. I look forward to campaigning across the Commonwealth to elect the Spanberger-Hashmi-Jones ticket, to hold the House of Delegates, and to win key local races.”

McClellan reaffirmed her commitment to supporting Democratic candidates across Virginia and emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum ahead of the general election.
