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.
As a former small business owner, I know how tough it can be to ride the waves the economy sends our way. The pandemic sent a tide that reverberated throughout the entire country, and Washington policies have made life harder, not better, for American businesses and workers.
My priority as your Representative is to identify solutions that will get Americans back to work and create lasting benefits to U.S. economic competitiveness. This includes cutting down regulatory red tape that burdens businesses and pushing back against mandates and policies that would eliminate worker freedom and impose a federal minimum wage on small businesses.
