Rob Wittman

What strikes me about Rob Wittman is the quiet competence beneath the politics. Before Congress he worked as an environmental health specialist, and that practical, problem-solving background seems to inform how he operates. Representing Virginia's 1st district since 2007 is no small feat; holding a seat that long means voters keep trusting you across very different communities, from Richmond's suburbs to the Hampton Roads waterfront. I tend to respect legislators who are more workhorse than showhorse, and Wittman reads that way to me. Longevity in office isn't glamorous, but it usually signals substance and a genuine connection to the ground he serves.
