Wittman fails to address constituent questions about Trump-Musk and DOGE

About 100 people showed up at the Williamsburg Regional Library on Thursday, hoping to talk to U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman during his scheduled mobile office hours. Concerns ranged from bills currently before the General Assembly to President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s running of the federal government.

Congressman Wittman (R-01) did not attend, and an aide fielded comments from the larger than normal group of attendees. Jessica Anderson, who is running as a Democrat for the 71st District in the state House of Delegates, said Wittman’s “failure to address the current dismantling of our democracy …  is unacceptable and a dereliction of his duties as our congressman.”

“I want a better society for my kids. I’m passionate about healthcare. I’m a physician, my wife is in public health and the way healthcare is going right now is very frightening and I just want a candidate who is willing to go against what is happening on the national level. The vaccination piece is definitely scary, I think it’s really important to stay up to date with those things, the pandemic changed so much about how people trust the healthcare system, and while there are a lot of ways the healthcare system needs to improve, leadership from the top down needs to be solid and it’s just not solid right now”.

“I’m mostly concerned about the SNAP funding. Because in my profession, I know some people through Virginia Cooperative Extension who were doing nutrition education for SNAP beneficiaries, all of those programs were cut as kind of a ripple effect from the (Big, Beautiful) bill, but they lost those programs, which is important to me – nutrition information. I’m concerned about out healthcare, I’m concerned about what’s happening with immigration right now and for me personally, I’m soon going on Medicare, and I’m concerned with what’s happening with that. Things are so divisive, you can’t even really talk about issues in a calm way”.

“I am passionate about gun safety regulation. I am passionate about enforcement of the anti-trust laws. Those are two big ones for me. And also intelligent AI regulation and data center/environmental regulations. I have concern about the kind of Wild West style lack of regulation of artificial intelligence. I think we need to take a systematic thoughtful approach so that we targeted AI rather than just an uncontrolled profit for a few big companies”.
