New data out today shows that Virginia’s unemployment rate is on a steady five-month increase, thanks in part to Jen Kiggans and Rob Wittman enabling indiscriminate DOGE cuts that have hit Virginia’s workforce hard.
Axios reports that the “administration’s federal job slashing and freezing of grants, contracts and medical research may be to blame” for Virginia’s growing unemployment rate.
Reminder: Polling shows that DOGE is deeply underwater with Virginia voters, spelling trouble for Republicans like Kiggans and Wittman who have stood in lockstep with their party bosses and done nothing to stop the devastating cuts to Virginia-based jobs.
- Kiggans has faced protests at her office for failing to stand up to Elon Musk, and she even voted to codify DOGE cuts into law.
- Wittman directly backed DOGE during a telephone town hall, despite his constituents expressing their concern with DOGE’s actions. He also voted to codify DOGE cuts into law.
