Our HLP spotlight shines on Senator Jennifer McClellan who represents Virginia's 9th Senate District.  Senator McClellan spoke with our 8th graders about how students and educators can meet this moment of reckoning for systemic racism, pandemic and economic hardship, her process for critical thinking, excellence, the job of a state senator, what is appealing about state office, the decision-making process, emotionally stirring legislative issues, the most impactful movie in her life, the most difficult bill she helped pass, how she works with people on the other side of the aisle and what is keeping her hopeful during the pandemic.  Thank you, Senator McClellan, for joining us!
