Jen Kiggans Claimed To Fight For Virginia Workers, Especially Federal Workers
Kiggans Claimed She Was Standing Up To The Trump Administration On Behalf Of Virginia’s Federal Workers
March 2025: Kiggans Said She Advocated “For Veterans Who Are Federal Workers At Risk Of Losing Their Jobs.” “This week I sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Hegseth advocating for veterans who are federal workers at risk of losing their jobs. I firmly believe we can reduce the size of the federal government responsibly while ensuring national security is prioritized and veterans who work for the DoD are protected. With increasing global threats from nations like China and Russia, maintaining a strong and capable defense force is more critical than ever, and veterans play a vital role in that mission.” [Jen Kiggans, Twitter, 3/7/25]

I communicated with the administration advocating for federal workers and veterans, attended the State of the Union address, and introduced my bipartisan ‘Pay Our Troops’ Act. With much change happening on the federal level, know that I will always be a consistent voice as the representative from Virginia’s Second District. It’s the honor of a lifetime to serve in government and a great responsibility that I do not take lightly.” [Jen Kiggans, Twitter, 3/10/25] (VIDEO)

Kiggans Campaigned To Be A Leader In Congress Who “[Stood] Up For American Workers”
Kiggans Campaign Website: Kiggans Supported “Pro-Growth Policies That Empower Small Businesses To Do What They Do Best: Create Jobs And Grow Our Economy.” “Jen focuses on pro-growth policies that empower small businesses to do what they do best: create jobs and grow our economy. She fights to help industries critical to Virginia’s economic success hire new workers, reduce Washington’s regulatory burden, and keep government out of businesses’ day-to-day operations. Jen also knows how important it is to keep taxes low for working families, which is why she fought to expand the Child Tax Credit. In Washington, she’s worked hard to pass legislation that reverses the damages of wasteful government spending while fully funding and protecting important priorities like veterans’ benefits, the U.S. military, and Social Security & Medicare.” [Jen For Congress, Issues: Growing Jobs and the Economy, accessed 9/4/25]
2022: Kiggans Said Virginians Needed A Leader In Congress Who Would “Stand Up For American Workers.” “China steals our manufacturing jobs, commits horrific human rights atrocities, and threatens our global security. It's time Virginians have a leader in Congress who has the courage to hold China accountable and stand up for American workers and our national security. #VA02Debate” [Jen Kiggans, Twitter, 10/12/22]
