WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Rob Wittman (R-VA) voted for H.R. 8580, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2025. The bill will enhance quality of life for military families, fully fund veterans’ healthcare, invest in Virginia’s military communities – all while ensuring responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
“Our servicemembers and veterans have selflessly served our nation and defended our freedoms — it's time these heroes and their loved ones get the support and assistance they deserve,” said Congressman Wittman. “H.R. 8580 supports our military families, honors our commitment to veterans, promotes fiscal responsibility, and prevents government overreach. I was proud to vote for this critical funding, which will reverberate across the Commonwealth.”
