PWC Congressman issues statement on Inauguration of President Barack Obama

Congressman Rob Wittman (VA-1) released the following statement upon the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States of America:

“Americans are truly privileged to live in a great nation, where we enjoy the freedom to democratically elect our leaders and to assemble freely as her leaders take office. This is a privilege we cannot take lightly; so many men and women throughout our history have fought bravely and given selflessly for this great nation. Though we face many challenges, today is a day to rise above conflict and party, to simply celebrate the honor to be an American and to enjoy the ceremonial events surrounding this momentous occasion envisioned by our founding fathers. I am truly humbled to serve the people of America’s First District and look forward to working with my colleagues to tackle the important issues facing the Nation.”

Wittman represents the First District of Virginia, which includes parts of Prince William County. He serves on the House Natural Resources Committee and the House Armed Services Committee where he is the Chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee.
