Glenn Grothman is the congressman for Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District. Grothman is currently serving his fourth term in Congress, having first been elected in 2014.
In the House of Representatives, Grothman serves on three committees, the House Committee on Education and Labor, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, where he serves as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on National Security, and the House Committee on the Budget. Grothman's time in office has also been marked by his passionate advocacy for manufacturing, worker training, welfare reform, higher education reform, immigration reform, and pro-life causes. Grothman has also been recognized for his work to protect Medicare and Social Security by receiving the “Guardian of Seniors’ Rights” award.
The federal government has been living beyond its means for far too long. Our national debt is over $18 trillion and grows larger every day. The annual budget deficits are close to $500 billion. The debt and deficits not only hurt our economy, but they also affect our national security and the security of our future generations. Members of both parties have been careless in spending and borrowing.
Families and business owners of the 6th District continue to voice their concerns to me about the inability of Washington to get its fiscal house in order. One major reason I ran for Congress was to tackle America’s addiction to spending and send many programs currently operated by the federal government back to the states. As a member of the House Budget Committee, I will work to cut spending, root out waste, and balance the federal budget.
