Scott Rigell has dumped a good chunk of his public salary to serve, reports Roll Call today.
Admittedly, the auto sales industry has been very good to Rigell, but he didn’t go to DC to earn a paycheck. He has said often that his goal of service is to ensure that there is someone with commonsense and conservative values representing the 2nd Congressional District in Congress – especially during a time where every decision matters.
Roll Call writes:
The Virginia Republican has vowed to donate 15 percent of his paycheck, which amounted to more than $6,500 in the second quarter.
“Rep. Rigell believes that the trajectory of spending in Washington presents a material threat to our nation’s future,” spokeswoman Kim Mosser said in an email. “He also believes in leading by example in controlling spending.”
$26K is not exactly a small gesture by an individual. Kudos to Congressman Rigell for representing the 2nd District through action.
