# The Real Jen Kiggans

> Part of the corrupt, politics-as-usual system in Washington — and Virginia families are paying the price.

**PART OF A CORRUPT SYSTEM**

**She took the money. Then she took the vote.**

Jen Kiggans took nearly $20,000 from a PAC funded by the payday loan industry — then voted against cracking down on predatory lending practices that especially hurt military families.

And Kiggans [voted against](https://www.congress.gov/votes/house/119-1/194) [releasing the Epstein files to the public](https://www.axios.com/2025/07/15/epstein-house-democrats-republicans-trump-doj), even after learning that Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation exploited [girls as young as 14](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-charged-sex-trafficking-molesting-underage-girls-n1027356).

**YOUR BILLS, THEIR BREAKS**

**Tax breaks for big tech. Higher bills for you.**

Kiggans [called data centers “vital”](https://www.wavy.com/news/warner-unveils-agenda-to-help-regulate-artificial-intelligence-data-centers/) and [voted to give big tech companies massive tax breaks](https://www.congress.gov/votes/house/119-1/190) to keep building them — even though Virginia already has [more data centers than any state](https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/data-centers/after-severe-76-percent-electricity-price-hikes-due-to-ai-data-centers-virginia-requires-firms-to-pay-for-all-dedicated-upstream-electrical-infrastructure-state-regulators-crack-down-governor-says-move-will-save-civilians-hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars), [straining our electrical grid](https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/northern-virginia/national-security-expert-warns-of-power-grid-vulnerability-due-to-strain-from-data-centers/4149074/). Everyday Virginians could pay up to 50% more for utilities.

**100% WITH TRUMP**

**Even when it hurts Virginia.**

Kiggans votes [100% of the time with Donald Trump](https://votehub.com/trump-score). She voted [seven times](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/us/politics/virginia-beach-congressional-election-iran-war.html) to let Trump continue his reckless war with Iran that sent gas [above $4 a gallon in Hampton Roads](https://www.pilotonline.com/2026/07/24/gas-prices-iran-war-intensifies/), and [voted against extending healthcare tax credits](https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll011.xml) — [more than doubling premiums](https://www.kff.org/affordable-care-act/aca-marketplace-premium-payments-would-more-than-double-on-average-next-year-if-enhanced-premium-tax-credits-expire/) for subsidized families — all to fund [tax breaks for the wealthy](https://www.americanprogress.org/article/7-ways-the-big-beautiful-bill-cuts-taxes-for-the-rich/).

**THE HEALTHCARE LIE**

**She promised to protect Virginians' healthcare. She lied.**

Kiggans [cast the deciding vote](https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/roll145.xml) for the [largest cuts to Medicaid in history](https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5378970-medicaid-cuts-senate-republicans/) — ripping [$1 trillion](https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5378970-medicaid-cuts-senate-republicans/) out of the program that seniors, veterans, and working families depend on.

Here at home, her vote cut nearly [$44 million from Hampton Roads hospitals](https://www.thirdway.org/graphic/gop-medicaid-cuts-will-decimate-hospitals-nationwide) — putting [rural hospitals on the Eastern Shore and in Franklin at risk](https://www.thirdway.org/graphic/gop-medicaid-cuts-will-decimate-hospitals-nationwide) — and could kick [more than 21,000 of her own constituents](https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/eee0d67f-c44a-4b97-bb59-01d2fcd2e26e/jec-district-level-impacts-of-health-care-cuts.pdf) off their health insurance.

And when Kiggans had the chance to make healthcare affordable, she [voted NO on extending the tax credits](https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll011.xml) that [millions of families count on](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/health-subsidies-expire-launching-millions-of-americans-into-2026-with-steep-insurance-hikes) to pay for insurance — letting premiums [more than double](https://www.kff.org/affordable-care-act/aca-marketplace-premium-payments-would-more-than-double-on-average-next-year-if-enhanced-premium-tax-credits-expire/) for the families who can least afford it.
