Happy birthday to @USArmy! For 244 years, the U.S. Army has served selflessly and with distinction throughout the world, keeping us safe both at home and abroad with the motto, “This We’ll Defend.” I'm so proud to represent our fighting men and women in the Commonwealth. #Army244 https://t.co/xV6N3aJXrs — PolitiTweet.org

Since the dawn of our nation, our Armed Forces have stood up & fought for our freedom; we sleep soundly because of their bravery. I'm still optimistic about the future of the #FY20NDAA & I look forward to fighting for the funding the DoD requested & the tools our warfighters need — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

While I could not support final passage, there were several provisions, specifically from the Seapower and Projection Forces portfolio, that I championed, and I am glad to see they are in the final mark headed to the House floor. #FY20NDAA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

We need the appropriate topline number of $750 billion to ensure we sustain our fight to rebuild readiness. #FY20NDAA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

I refuse to put our servicemembers into anything that could be considered a fair fight, and for that reason I could not support final passage out of the committee this morning. #FY20NDAA Read my full statement here: https://t.co/cX5U8qogXE — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

We must ready our strategic ports throughout the country, from Virginia to Washington, Maine to Texas, to support our goal of #355ships. I will continue to work towards greater military readiness around the nation and the world. #FY20NDAA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Proud to support my colleague in the Virginia delegation, @RepElaineLuria, in her amendment to make our submarines and aircraft carriers safer and more efficient. #FY20NDAA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

To completely remove a weapons platform option for our Armed Forces throughout the world is nothing short of irresponsible. If our adversaries are uncertain about where our submarines are and what warheads they are carrying, they will be deterred. #FY20NDAA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

$750B is where we need to be in regards to topline. We have finally started to rebuild our military readiness, we shouldn't stop that now. #FY20NDAA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Our rural communities deserve the same opportunities as folks in urban areas. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made so far, but there is still much to be done, and I will see this effort through to the end. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

I continue to advocate for rural broadband expansion through supporting bi-partisan legislation like the Broadband Data Improvement Act of 2019 as an original co-sponsor. https://t.co/kOxBRrUPAu — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

I am concerned that the DoD's planned reductions in fire and emergency services go too far in its reduction of appropriate response personnel. HASC just passed one of my amendments to #fy20NDAA that directs DoD to submit a report on the effects of these reductions. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

The House Armed Services Committee's debate on the annual defense bill is well underway. You can watch the markup of #FY20NDAA here: https://t.co/rLlFJ8EiaW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Our mark contains several provisions to support the construction and maintenance of our aircraft carriers – our nation’s preeminent power project platform. It includes authorization for the refueling of the USS Truman – giving it another 25 years of service. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Funding three subs takes the steps to accelerate the build schedule and bring our fleet closer to the 66 submarines requested by our Combatant Commanders. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Just began debate on the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee #FY20NDAA mark in full committee. Our bipartisan mark includes authorization of 11 ships - specifically 3 VA-class attack subs. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Unfortunately, the majority has decided to make this year’s NDAA a partisan piece of legislation by not fulfilling the @DeptofDefense budget request and by including partisan riders, threatening its passage. My hope is we can come together today to do what is best for our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Today begins the full markup of the #FY20NDAA. It includes a broad range of provisions ranging from increasing shipbuilding and innovation efforts, boosting military pay and benefits, and more. @HASCRepublicans https://t.co/CJzx0Q9iML — PolitiTweet.org

The cable industry is leading the way in the deployment of high speed broadband in the rural markets it serves. In Va., companies like @CoxComm and @comcast continue to make great strides for our rural areas, bringing them access to the resources they need in the 21st Century. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Glad to speak today to NCTA – The Internet & Television Association (@NCTAitv) on my continued efforts to ensure folks have the access they need to telemedicine, online education, and other technologies that high-speed broadband provides. https://t.co/43ubi0W54d — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

As a nation, we will never forget the events of 9/11. We should also never forget the first responders and survivors of that day. That is why we must renew the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. We cannot turn our backs on these heroes – not now, not ever. #Renew911VCF https://t.co/kZjed3Eh2i — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Honored to present the Assoc of Defense Communities - Community/State Leadership Award to Mike Coleman of the Va. Office of Vets and Defense Affairs in Washington today. For 10 years, Mike has created connections that have strengthened the Commonwealth and our military. Congrats! https://t.co/fQCRFUAwzv — PolitiTweet.org

June is National Great Outdoors Month! As an outdoorsman, I know the importance of taking care of our ecosystem for future generations to enjoy and use. I hope you get out and enjoy the many great outdoor locations we have in the Commonwealth this month, especially along the Bay. https://t.co/0qRO6UZB9V — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

These robocalls are not only a nuisance but they also pose as a threat to individual’s privacy and security. The passage of this legislation will represent an important step in the right direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

I applaud the @FCC and Chairman @AjitPaiFCC for taking action on this important issue. Americans are fed up with the flood of unwanted robocalls. I recently cosponsored the STOP Robocalls Act which would also help put a stop to this nuisance. https://t.co/TyakLlOcEH — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

I will continue to work to see this project through to the end and will always advocate for Virginia transportation and infrastructure needs in Washington. #VaTraffic — PolitiTweet.org
