She passed landmark laws to protect voting rights, safeguard abortion access, tackle climate change, rebuild crumbling schools, expand Obamacare, protect workers rights, and reform Virginia’s criminal justice system.
Rep. McClellan was born in Petersburg to parents who both worked at Virginia State University. McClellan was elected to the House of Delegates representing Richmond in 2005.
