1998

In 1998, he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in foreign affairs from the University of Virginia.

2006

In an interview with CRTV Riggleman said the image was an obvious joke, but that he had an interest in Bigfoot, and co-authored the actual self-published book Bigfoot Exterminators, Inc.: The Partially Cautionary, Mostly True Tale of Monster Hunt 2006, with ESPN writer Don Barone.

In a phone interview with The Washington Post, he clarified that it was an "anthropological book sort of based on parody and satire" and said, "I thought it was funny. There is no way that anybody's dumb enough to think this is real."

Riggleman received a graduate certificate in project management from Villanova University in 2007.

Riggleman served in the Air Force for 15 years.

After initially serving as an enlisted avionics technician, he received a commission and went on to serve as an intelligence officer.

2014

A former Air Force officer and National Security Agency contractor, Riggleman opened a craft distillery in Virginia in 2014.

In 2014, Riggleman and his wife opened Silverback Distillery, a 50-acre craft distillery in Afton, Virginia, outside Charlottesville.

He has pushed for deregulation of distilleries in the state and changes to the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority.

Together with other distillers, the Rigglemans established a "loosely formed distillers guild" and hired a lobbyist.

Riggleman has "criticized the state's alcohol and tax laws as unfairly harsh toward spirits producers and spoke[n] of a new 'whiskey rebellion.'"

2016

In December 2016, Riggleman filed papers to seek the Republican nomination for governor of Virginia in the 2017 gubernatorial election.

His opponents in the Republican primary were former President George W. Bush counselor and Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie, Prince William County Board of Supervisors chairman Corey Stewart, and state Senator Frank Wagner of Virginia Beach.

2017

As a Republican, he ran for his party's nomination in the 2017 gubernatorial election, but withdrew from the race.

Riggleman suspended his campaign on March 16, 2017.

Riggleman had expressed interest in running for Governor in 2021 as an independent or third-party candidate, citing his belief that the Republican Party of Virginia is broken.

2018

Riggleman was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2018.

In the 2018 elections, Riggleman was the Republican nominee for the United States House of Representatives election for VA's 5th congressional district.

He defeated Cynthia Dunbar, who had lost the Republican nomination in the 6th district just weeks before, in the final round of voting to win the nomination.

The Republican incumbent, Tom Garrett, did not run for reelection.

In the November 2018 general election, Riggleman defeated Democratic nominee Leslie Cockburn with 53% of the vote to Cockburn's 47%.

Riggleman is the only member of the Republican party to speak on the House of Representatives floor against QAnon.

He is a co-sponsor of 2020 US House resolution H. Res 1154 "Condemning QAnon and rejecting the conspiracy theories it promotes".

He is also one of the co-authors of the Network Contagion Research Institute (affiliated with Rutgers University) report called "THE QANON CONSPIRACY: Destroying Families, Dividing Communities, Undermining Democracy" which he wrote before the January 6, 2021 storming of the US Capitol.

"When ideas or fantasy are weaponized, there is a metamorphosis from harmless, bizarre theories to a dangerous bloom of tribalism and dehumanization of others," he wrote in the report.

"This bloom expands digitally from person to person, absorbing and then converting a tribe that believes alternate realities based on a directed stream of algorithmically and group targeted data, ignorant analytic white papers, memes, ideas and coded language."

Since leaving Congress in January 2021, Riggleman has been working with experts and academics at the Network Contagion Research Institute to study disinformation and how to combat it.

The Rappahannock County Republican Party criticized Riggleman after he officiated a same-sex wedding between two of his friends, and in September he was censured by party officials who claimed that he had "abandoned party principles" over fiscal and immigration policy.
