Wittman Introduced Legislation Renaming New Kent Post Office to Honor Patricia Paige

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last week, Congressman Rob Wittman (VA-01) introduced legislation to rename the New Kent Post Office to honor the late Patricia Paige, whose lifetime of service left a profound mark on Virginia. Paige, a veteran of the Army Reserves and long-time member of the New Kent County Board of Supervisors, passed away on November 28, 2023, after decades of dedicated public service.

"Patricia Paige was the very definition of a community leader, and her impact will be felt for generations," said Rep. Wittman. "From creating opportunities for young people, to protecting seniors from fraud, and improving transportation access across the region, Patricia worked tirelessly to serve the community that she loved. I am honored to introduce this legislation to rename the post office in New Kent after her so that her life and legacy will continue to be recognized for years to come."

This bipartisan legislation was cosponsored by Representatives Jen Kiggans (VA-02), Bobby Scott (VA-03), Jennifer McClellan (VA-04), John McGuire (VA-05), Ben Cline (VA-06), Eugene Vindman (VA-07), Don Beyer (VA-08), Morgan Griffith (VA-09), Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10), and James Walkinshaw (VA-11).
