Wittman Receives FreedomWorks Freedom Fighter Award
Washington,
July 20, 2017
WASHINGTON – Congressman Rob Wittman (VA-1) today received the FreedomWorks Freedom Fighter Award for his constant support of economic freedom and individual liberty in Congress. This award honors Members of Congress who have staunchly advocated for policies that promote free enterprise and limited government. Congressman Wittman scored a 96% on FreedomWorks’ 2016 Congressional Scorecard, demonstrating an unrelenting commitment to these principles.
“It is critically important to protect our individual liberties and economic freedoms,” Wittman said. ”Government’s role should be to eliminate barriers to success, not create them. Rolling back burdensome, overbearing regulations and implementing meaningful tax reform is necessary to preserving both our liberty and small businesses. It’s the American entrepreneurial spirit—not Washington—is what is guiding our nation’s economy forward, and I will do everything in my power to continue to support our job creators.” In 2016, FreedomWorks scored key votes in favor of several issues, including repeal of ObamaCare through the 2015 reconciliation bill and the override of Obama’s veto, preventing IRS abuse and protecting free speech, protecting citizens from warrantless searches, spending cuts, and reducing regulation. “These defenders of liberty get this award to thank them for their critical votes on legislation important to our activist community,” FreedomWorks Vice President of Legislative Affairs Jason Pye said. “This event allows us to thank them on behalf of our activists to thank these members and encourage them to keep fighting for limited government, lower taxes, and fewer unnecessary job-killing regulations.” FreedomWorks is a grassroots organization advocating for free enterprise and constitutionally limited government. Congressman Rob Wittman represents the 1st District of Virginia. He serves on the House Natural Resources Committee and the House Armed Services Committee, where he is Chairman of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee. |
