John, I want to share an op-ed I wrote in the Richmond Times-Dispatch this week on canceling the August Recess. While Republicans have been able to accomplish a lot as a House Majority this year, there is too much work to be done to take a six-week vacation. Can you believe that? Six weeks. Most Americans are lucky to get one or two weeks off all year. While many of my colleagues may want to leave for Summer vacation, I believe that it’s my duty as your representative to devote my time to ensure that the people’s work is completed. That’s my job, and it’s a privilege to serve. The American people deserve a Congress that consistently fulfills its commitments and responsibilities, and a government that operates with timeliness and efficiency. |
I have a lot more to say on the subject. If you have a moment, please read the op-ed here and let me know what you think. |
Your Representative, Rob Wittman |
