Later that day, Wittman expressed his dedication to environmental conservation. He tweeted about his lifelong passion for outdoor activities and bipartisan efforts to preserve public lands: "I’ve been a recreational fisherman and avid outdoorsman my entire life, and I’m working across the aisle to preserve our public lands so Americans can explore, fish, hunt and enjoy wildlife and the outdoors for generations to come."
