Instead of solving the things that plague #VA01 - healthcare costs, inflation, unnecessary war, tariffs, ICE overreach, and on and on - Wittman is eagerly supporting voter ID laws that will solve NOTHING and create ever more chaos.

An excellent @pilotonline.com letter. Bravo! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Getting to yes in housing is important for young professionals, for families, for working people, for our business environment, and for quality of life.

The cost to inaction is that people have to leave Virginia to prosper. We should not want that.

In honor of the women who have shaped Virginia and the U.S., Happy Women’s History Month!

Trump Says War Could Last Weeks and Offers Contradictory Visions of New Regime

"Well, we intended four or five weeks."

Translation: he has no clue how long this war goes or how it ends.

We warned that Wittman's HR1 vote and refusal to support the ACA would impact Virginians, and now we know 44,000 have lost healthcare - and it might rise to 100,000! Now Virginia's state gov has to step in before more of us suffer because of Wittman's inability to represent us. #FlipVA01.

Basically, Trump is going to claim Chinese influence in the '20 election (whaa???) is an "emergency" that gives him the power to take over federal elections.

Really.

Trump knows the SAVE Act is dead and redistricting backfired, so this is his last gasp to rig the midterms.

The real threats to election integrity Wittman conspires to suppress the vote and retain power

"Every accusation is a confession." Voter fraud is a lie. But Republicans' plans to suppress your vote, our liberty, and the American republic are very real.

We show the fraud behind the SAVE Act, SAVE America Act, and MEGA Act, and how Wittman's support for them is a grave threat to our country.

'Very inspiring tonight' - Rep. Rob Wittman on honoring veterans at the State of the Union Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) reacts to President Trump's 2026 State of the Union address.

After the State of the Union, (a rapidly blinking) Rob Wittman said, "the state of the union is strong," and that we're "in a good place."
