What these lines mean
These lines come from this official’s entry in the Congressional Directory, which Congress publishes. Each member’s office supplies or approves its entry. We save our own copy and sort each part of the entry by fixed rules. No AI is used.
Previous profession lists the work the entry names outside public office, in the Directory’s own words. Public office here means an elected or appointed position, staff work for an elected official or a legislature, and party or campaign work.
Lifelong politician means: Congress’s biography lists no occupation outside public office. It also means the entry lists no military service. A person on our side confirms these words before they appear.
Years in public office counts elected and appointed positions only. Staff work and party work are left out. Each year counts once.
The saved record holds 1,079 recorded votes by Robert J. Wittman, from 2007 to 2026.

Wittman Advocates For Federal Funding for VCU's Teacher Residency Program
“It is my understanding that the Department of Education issued a notice of grant award termination to VCU on February 7, 2025, due to noncompliance with President Trump's executive order on diversity, equity, and inclusion ("DEI") initiatives (EO 14151). I appreciate the department's swift action to ensure that teacher education pipelines remain focused on training high-quality and objective teachers.”
