#VA01's Rob Wittman spreads disinformation, refuses to meet anyone but donors, and hands regular Virginians’ $$$ to billionaires. Enough! We can replace him in Nov 2026. Follow us to learn the truth behind his lies and cowardice. linktr.ee/wittmanwatch

Rob says, "Protecting children is not a partisan issue." We agree. But Wittman voted for H.R. 1. Projected Medicaid/SNAP funding loss by 2034 across parts of Chesterfield, Henrico, Hanover & James City: ~$3.2B. 719,000 VA kids rely on these programs. Protecting kids isn't just a press release.

Wittman voted for H.R. 1, which guts SNAP and could net him up to $59,300 in tax breaks. Back home, half of VA-01 families with kids can't reliably feed them. Who's this working for again, Rob?

Rob bragged about an A+ for "limited government" from a conservative advocacy group and an A for "bipartisanship" from a group that hands out “As” like candy. With his vote on the Big Ugly Bill, he nullified both. That's a party-line wealth transfer with his name on it. Don’t buy his hype.

So inspiring watching “Wiggans” campaign with Jim Jordan this week. Really shows their commitment to "family values" if the family isn't one of the 177 men who say he watched a team doctor abuse them for 18 years.

A Pentagon AI Agent used old data to get a school targeting wrong and kill more than a hundred kids. A different AI almost started a war with China. Rob Wittman's public response to both: nothing. His public response to “more AI for the military”: can't wait. We can’t wait for new representation.

Rob is jumping into a morass of culture war talking points because he has an abysmal voting record. He reposted them (third hand) from an opinion hub designed for conservatives: executive editor Hugh Hewitt, banished from WAPO. Gee, Rob, maybe use a trusted media source next time. Watch and learn.

Rob's mailer: "I got VA $190M for rural health care!" 🎉 But…you voted for the Big Ugly Bill that cut Medicaid by $911B — and Rappahannock General in your own district is now flagged at risk of closing. $190M against billions in cuts isn't a rescue. It's a receipt for the damage. #VA01
