Robert "Rob" J. Wittman

Defense / Veterans

Virginia is home to one of the largest veteran populations in the country, and I will always make sure our veterans, and their families have a voice. Our veterans kept their promise to America, we must keep our promise to them. Learn more

We must rebuild our defense industrial base, expand shipbuilding, produce the munitions and weapons our military needs, accelerate the adoption of new technology, and make sure our servicemembers have the best equipment and training in the world. Learn more

Economy

I am fighting for policies that lower costs, keep taxes down, increase American energy production, reduce unnecessary regulations, and make it easier to build, invest, hire, and grow here at home. Learn more

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. They employ our neighbors, support local organizations, sponsor our kids’ teams, and give our towns their character. Washington should be making it easier for them to succeed, not burying them under higher taxes, rising costs, and unnecessary red tape. Learn more

Education

We need to give young people more opportunities to pursue career and technical education, apprenticeships, dual enrollment, professional credentials, and hands-on training that can lead directly to good-paying jobs. Learn more

Parents, teachers, and local communities should be driving education decisions, not Washington bureaucrats. Our schools should be focused on giving students the fundamentals, teaching them how to think rather than what to think, and preparing them to succeed in the real world. Learn more

Environment / Energy

I will continue fighting for clean water, healthy fisheries, thriving wildlife, and a Chesapeake Bay that future generations of Virginians can enjoy just as I have. Learn more

My approach is simple: protect our natural resources, unleash American energy, reduce reliance on foreign sources, lower costs for families, and power America’s energy future. We do not have to choose between conservation and economic prosperity. We can have both. Learn more

Healthcare

My focus is on making health care more affordable, accessible, and transparent while protecting the relationship between patients and their doctors. Learn more

Insurance companies should not be able to delay or deny medically necessary care without transparency and accountability, and discounts intended to lower prescription drug costs should benefit patients instead of disappearing into a system of hidden rebates and fees. Learn more

We also need to bring more pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing back to the United States. America should not depend on China or other foreign adversaries for medicines and critical medical supplies that our families rely on. Learn more

Immigration

We need Border Patrol agents and law enforcement officers with the technology, infrastructure, and resources to do their jobs. We need to stop illegal crossings, target cartels and human traffickers, stop the flow of deadly drugs into our country, and make sure dangerous criminals do not fall through the cracks. Learn more

Infrastructure / Transportation

We should not just keep patching the same problems year after year. We need to invest wisely in roads, bridges, ports, and other infrastructure that improves safety, reduces congestion, supports economic and regional growth, and prepares Virginia for the future. Learn more

I will continue working to support unserved communities, cut unnecessary delays, and bring reliable, affordable high-speed internet to every part of Virginia’s First District. Learn more

Taxes / Budget

Fiscal responsibility starts with respecting taxpayers’ hard earned money. That means eliminating waste, fraud, improper payments, and duplicative or ineffective programs while protecting the essential services Americans depend on. It also means pursuing pro-growth policies that strengthen our economy, create jobs, and expand the tax base rather than simply asking families and businesses to pay more. Learn more
