Rob Wittman’s Weekly Update

Have you ever called my office for assistance? Did you know that my office can help with issues you might be having with federal government agencies? My office serves as a resource for constituents of the First District not only on votes and legislative information, but much more. So many of you call with your opinions, ideas and thoughts on the issues, and I enjoy hearing from you and appreciate your engagement with my office, and on behalf of our community and our country. It is important for you to know that there are other services available to you from the office of America’s First District. Whether you have a student looking for an internship opportunity or to apply to a military academy, or if you have a veteran you’d like to honor by flying a flag over the U.S. Capitol, I hope we can be of service.
