BREAKING: Jen Kiggans Votes Against Aviation Safety

Kiggans votes against air safety and against the wishes of the families of victims of the Potomac air collision

Congresswoman Jen Kiggans just showed once again how out-of-touch she is with Virginia – this time by voting against a bipartisan aviation safety bill. 

Kiggans cast the deciding vote against the ROTOR Act, bipartisan legislation which “would have required planes to carry a type of tracking technology that federal investigators determined could have helped avoid a midair collision over the Potomac River last year that killed 67 people.”

Before Kiggans cast her inexplicable vote, the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board told reporters“How many more people need to die for us to decide that action needs to be taken?”

Kiggans’ vote is a slap in the face to all of the victims and their families of the Potomac River crash – including those from her own Commonwealth of Virginia.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Jen Kiggans continues to put Virginia last.”
