Wittman Supports Continuing Government Operations with Third House Vote

Washington, D.C. - Representative Rob Wittman (VA-01) released the following statement after the House voted to again fund government operations and to delay the individual mandate for health care insurance included in the Affordable Care Act:

"The folks of America's First District do not support a government shutdown and that's why tonight, I voted for the third time to continue government operations and against a shutdown. Governing at the eleventh hour is simply unacceptable, but the House voted again tonight to keep government running while also delaying key pieces of the harmful Obamacare legislation."

Wittman supported two previous versions of legislation to continue government operations, and for legislation to ensure troops are paid regardless of the political situation.
