Family Research Council Action President Tony Perkins made the following comments:
"We thank Representative Wittman for consistently voting to uphold faith, family and freedom. Rep. Wittman voted to repeal key parts of Obamacare, protect unborn children and their mothers, end the forced partnership between taxpayers and Planned Parenthood, allow students to attend the school of their choice, and protect pro-life organizations and employers from being forced to hire individuals who disagree with pro-life principles.
"We can be encouraged by elected officials who are willing to be criticized as they stand for family values. Members like Rep. Wittman deserve praise for their unwavering commitment to stand for life, family, marriage, and religious liberty.
"Family Research Council Action and the hundreds of thousands of families and churches we represent are proud to recognize these men and women for their faithful work. Our hope is that in the next Congress, he will be joined by many more like him," Perkins concluded.
