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.
We can't afford to have Washington bureaucrats and the federal government dictating individual health care needs. Our health care system is failing patients across the country. Hardworking families struggle to pay their medical bills. Congress must act to alleviate this pain and stress by putting patients and doctors at the forefront of the decision-making process which will help drive down costs, improve quality, and create more accessible and affordable health care options for families.
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for mental health care. I am holding public forums, bringing additional federal mental health resources to states, and partnering with health care professionals, teachers, and parents to meet the needs of our community.
