Robert J. Wittman
Since the current Congress began on January 3, 2025, Wittman has a recorded vote on 60 laws that passed, and 1 vote on a resolution that passed a law.
The tally counts votes on passage. 1 vote on a resolution that passed a law is listed apart.
This record covers laws that passed. Votes on bills that did not become law are not included yet.
The record in plain language
Of the 118 laws passed since January 3, 2025, 60 came to a recorded vote on passage in the House while Wittman is a member. On 1 more, the recorded House vote is on a resolution. Wittman votes Yes on H.Res. 590, the resolution that passed the Rescissions Act of 2025 in the House. The rest passed the House by voice vote or without objection, which records no individual votes.
Wittman votes Yes on the Laken Riley Act on immigration detention; the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the 2025 tax and spending law; the HALT Fentanyl Act; the GENIUS Act on stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to the dollar); the Epstein Files Transparency Act; the defense policy law for fiscal year 2026; the Secure America Act, a 2026 budget law; the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act; and the Russia and Iran sanctions law.
On funding the government, Wittman votes Yes on the March 2025 full-year funding law; the November 2025 law that ended the 43-day shutdown; the January 2026 funding law for science, energy, Interior and the EPA; the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies; and the September 2026 funding extension.
Congress cancelled 24 federal rules by recorded vote in the House in that time. Wittman votes to cancel 23 and against cancelling 0, and did not vote on 1. The rules Wittman votes to cancel come from: Interior: Bureau of Land Management (7), Environmental Protection Agency (5), Energy (4), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (2), District of Columbia government (1), Treasury: Comptroller of the Currency (1), Interior: National Park Service (1), Treasury: Internal Revenue Service (1) and Interior: Ocean Energy Management (1).
Wittman votes the same way as most House Republicans on all 58 of these Yes and No votes.
Wittman did not vote on the law that gives certain licensed hydropower projects more time to start construction and the law that cancels an EPA rule that tightened limits on toxic air emissions from tire manufacturing plants.

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.”
