| Primary day in Virginia is the perfect time to catch up on vulnerable Congressman Rob Wittman’s record in office. Spoiler alert: it’s not good.
After nearly 20 years in Washington, Wittman has demonstrated he’s more interested in serving himself than the Virginians he was elected to represent. Want proof? Wittman has voted to slash his own taxes, voted to gut health care, and dodged his own constituents – all while voting to unleash higher prices on Virginia families.
Here are three headlines to help you catch up quick on Wittman’s record for yourself:
1. Wittman voted to give himself a tax break of up to $60,000 while ripping away health care from Virginia families.
“A Virginia congressman who voted to extend a major Trump tax break could personally save up to an eyewatering $60,000 a year – thanks to his eight-bedroom beach rental, the Daily Mail can reveal.”
2. Wittman lied to Virginians when he promised he would protect their health care, but then voted to gut Medicaid instead.
“Wittman, a ten-term Republican, told party leadership last summer that he wouldn’t support the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ because of its sweeping cuts to Medicaid, a program one in eight of his constituents rely on for coverage. But ultimately, he did.”
3. Wittman is phoning it in – literally – by dodging questions about his own record.
“Virginia Rep. Rob Wittman ducked questions about potential cuts to Social Security by appearing to fake a phone call outside the Capitol for more than a minute.”
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“After nearly 20 years in Congress, Rob Wittman has come to embody the political corruption that people are sick and tired of from Washington politicians. Even he knows his record is indefensible.”
