In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“This bill removes unnecessary layers of bureaucracy so projects can move forward faster while still protecting the environment through the existing review process. It's a commonsense step to cut waste, reduce delays, and support job creation.”
Rep. Fitzgerald Votes to Push Back on Green New Deal OverreachApr 17, 2026 · Official · Representative Scott Fitzgerald · source
“Federal environmental reviews should be efficient, not redundant.”
Rep. Fitzgerald Votes to Push Back on Green New Deal OverreachApr 17, 2026 · Official · Representative Scott Fitzgerald · source
“This year marks the 250th anniversary of our great nation, and over the past year, President Trump's leadership has delivered real results for American families, workers, and communities. He outlined a clear path to build on the progress he has already made strengthening the economy, securing our borders, and rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in our government. His commitment to American energy independence has already lowered gas prices to a four-year low, with the Wisconsin average at just $2.53.”
Statement from Congressman Scott Fitzgerald on President Trump's 2026 State of the Union AddressFeb 25, 2026 · Official · Representative Scott Fitzgerald · source
“This shutdown occurred because Democrats are demonizing ICE. ICE agents put their lives on the line every day and are working tirelessly to enforce our immigration laws and keep our communities safe.”
Rep. Fitzgerald Votes to Reopen Government After Partial ShutdownFeb 3, 2026 · Official · Representative Scott Fitzgerald · source
“However, reopening the government was absolutely necessary as a prolonged shutdown does not help the country.”
Rep. Fitzgerald Votes to Reopen Government After Partial ShutdownFeb 3, 2026 · Official · Representative Scott Fitzgerald · source
“I'm extremely disappointed the SAVE Act was not included in the final funding package, and I remain fully committed to supporting it when it comes up for a separate vote. Election security is critical to delivering results for Wisconsin families.”
