Elected in 2020, Congressman Scott Fitzgerald represents Wisconsin’s Fifth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Prior to his election to Congress, Fitzgerald served in the Wisconsin State Senate representing the 13th District from 1995 to 2021. During his tenure in the Wisconsin Senate, Scott served as Majority Leader, Minority Leader, Co-Chairman of the Joint Committee on Finance, and Chairman of the Senate Corrections Committee.
Fitzgerald joined the US Army Reserve in 1981 and was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Armor Branch in 1985. He completed the Army Command and General Staff College and served in a number of assignments during his 27 years of service, including Battalion Commander. In 2009, he retired from service at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
It took the Biden Administration all of one day to sharply depart from their message of unity. Just hours after he was sworn into office, President Biden halted construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. The project would have secured many good-paying jobs for hardworking people in Wisconsin, and the pipeline would have secured a safe and reliable way to transport energy.
Energy security is national security and as long as I represent the Fifth District of Wisconsin, I will advocate for proposals that make the United States a more secure and energy independent country.
