Wittman issued this statement:
“I’m a firm believer in the power of democracy and a firm believer in this process. It’s no small thing that we get to come together like this to choose who holds public office in this country, and I’m humbled that the folks in the First District have chosen me. We’ve still got a lot of work to do to get Washington back on track and out of the business of over-regulating people’s lives and livelihoods. But–together–I believe we can be an overwhelming force for change. I’m looking forward to working with men and women across the First District for a better tomorrow.”
Wittman announced that he would watch the campaign results come in from the Stafford Regional Airport on Tuesday night.
Wittman plans to make a run for Virginia Governor in 2o17.
