Representing parts of the Richmond and Hampton Roads suburbs, as well as the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula, Republican Wittman is serving his ninth term in Congress.
A former environmental health specialist and field director for the Virginia Department of Health’s shellfish sanitation division, Wittman has worked his way up the political ladder from the Montross Town Council to the Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors, the Virginia House of Delegates and Congress. He earned a doctorate in public policy and administration from Virginia Commonwealth University.
He was briefly a holdout on the Trump-driven “Big Beautiful Bill” budget reconciliation measure this spring, citing concerns about cuts to Medicaid, but he ultimately voted to support it, as did fellow Virginia Republican U.S. Rep. Jennifer Kiggans.
Wittman co-chairs both the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Caucus and the House Rural Broadband Caucus, and last year helped launch a new Defense Modernization Caucus. He also is vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and chairs the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee.
