Rep. Rob Wittman, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Virginia's 1st district since 2007, recently shared several messages on social media reflecting his views and activities. Born in Washington, D.C., and a graduate of Virginia Tech, Wittman is known for his involvement in public service.

On November 23, 2024, Rep. Wittman shared his personal connection to National Adoption Day. As an adoptee himself, he expressed that the day holds special significance for him. He invited others to join him in recognizing families who have embraced adoption by opening their homes and hearts to children: "As a child of adoption, today is extra special to me."

Two days later, on November 25, 2024, Wittman acknowledged the vital contributions of public health professionals in maintaining national health and safety. He highlighted their strength and resilience as crucial elements that make the nation a desirable place to live. In collaboration with Rep. Underwood, he introduced a resolution to honor these professionals: "Public health professionals play a central and significant role in ensuring our nation’s health and safety..."

Later that same day, Wittman addressed constituents seeking assistance from federal agencies but residing far from his offices. He announced mobile office hours scheduled for Wednesday in Midlothian at 10 a.m., offering further flexibility by encouraging those unable to attend to contact his office for convenient arrangements: "Need assistance with a federal agency but are too far from one of my offices?"
