First elected in 2018, Congressman Bryan Steil represents Wisconsin's First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Bryan has earned a reputation for working hard for Wisconsin during his first two terms in Congress. Being available and accessible to residents and listening to their concerns has been a top priority. To hear directly from residents, Bryan regularly holds in-person town halls across the First District as well as numerous telephone town halls. He utilizes his office to help local families. In 2021 alone, he helped more than 2,400 constituents receive assistance with federal agencies such as the Social Security Administration, VA, and Medicare. In addition, Bryan has held numerous public forums for our community regarding children's mental health, robocalls and scams prevention, and the impact of trade deals on Wisconsin dairy and agriculture.
As a member of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, I heard from students about the financial burdens placed upon individuals and families, and the barriers that must be navigated in order to ensure students are prepared to enter the workforce. One of the best things the federal government can do in this area is to get out of the way. Giving states the flexibility to serve their students is something we must address during this Congress. Far too often, we see policies come out of D.C. that provide a top-down approach, increasing costs instead of improving the system. Education should be in the hands of the states and local tech schools and universities, not bureaucrats in Washington.
