STUNNING: Congressman Rob Wittman Holds High Dollar D.C. Fundraiser Just Hours Before Shutdown Deadline

Wittman lines his campaign coffers with $5K PAC donations instead of working to protect Virginians from skyrocketing health care costs

What is Republican Congressman Rob Wittman doing just hours before a looming government shutdown? Nothing to help Virginians.

Instead, Wittman is holding a high dollar D.C. fundraiser as Virginians are left to fear the fallout from a looming government shutdown and a health care crisis that Wittman has created.

When asked why he was holding a fundraiser instead of working to prevent a government shutdown, Wittman falsely claimed he was working… while literally standing outside of a pricey D.C. restaurant. Yikes!

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:

“After nearly 20 years in Washington, career politician Rob Wittman has become so out of touch that he thinks it’s a good idea to hold a DC fundraiser hours before a government shutdown. Wittman would rather fundraise than work to stop Virginians’ health care costs from spiking. He’ll have more time for lunch breaks when Virginians fire him next November.”
