Message from Rob:
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I am honored to be recognized as a 2026 “Champion of Franchise” by the International Franchise Association. This award recognizes Members of Congress for exceptional work in supporting America’s franchises and businesses.
Franchises and small businesses are the backbone of our communities. They create jobs, strengthen local economies, and provide opportunities for entrepreneurial minded Americans. In Congress, I will continue working to cut burdensome regulations and support Main Street businesses so that business owners have the resources they need to grow and succeed.”
Background:
The International Franchise Association’s Franchise Champion Award recognizes members of Congress who have demonstrated support for America’s franchise small businesses and the policies that allow franchise owners to grow, create jobs, and invest in their communities. Visit franchise.org for more information.
Sincerely,
Rob Wittman
Member of Congress, Virginia’s 1st District
