Scott Fitzgerald — Republican Candidate for U.S. House in Wisconsin, 2026

Representative Scott Fitzgerald supports strict immigration enforcement and border security. He voted for the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship for voter registration and photo ID for federal elections, stating that voting should be exclusive to U.S. citizens to protect election integrity. He also supports the Dalilah Law to prohibit states from issuing commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens and criticizes withholding DHS funding.

““Open borders are a CHOICE. Need proof? Nine straight months. ZERO releases at the border. That’s @POTUS’ leadership.” - Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, Waukesha Times, February 25, 2026.”

Congressman Scott Fitzgerald voted against H.R. 1834, extending COVID-era Obamacare subsidies, citing fiscal irresponsibility and an estimated $80 billion increase to the deficit, which he believes primarily benefits insurance companies. He supported H.R. 6703, the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, to provide cost relief to families and extend benefits beyond Obamacare, criticizing the Affordable Care Act for high costs and limited patient choice. He also participated in an investigation into fraud protection measures within ACA exchanges.

“My position on this issue has remained consistent: supporting an Obamacare bailout is beyond fiscally irresponsible and does nothing to fix our failed healthcare system. That’s why I voted to pass the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, which delivers real healthcare reforms that benefit all Americans, not just the 7% of people on Obamacare's exchanges.”

Representative Scott Fitzgerald has consistently opposed legislation aimed at environmental protection and clean energy initiatives. He voted to rescind protections for the Boundary Waters, supported the Reliable Power Act, and favored limiting environmental review for pipelines. Additionally, he voted to defund the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and eliminate clean energy incentives, resulting in a 0% score from the League of Conservation Voters in 2025.

Congressman Scott Fitzgerald opposes abortion and maintains a pro-life voting record, reflected in his "A+" rating from the Susan B. Anthony List. He has voted against taxpayer funding for abortion and supported legislation such as the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Fitzgerald states his commitment to protecting the unborn and supporting women and families through pregnancy centers, aiming to help mothers give children a strong start.

““I am proud to have earned an A+ rating on SBA’s pro-life scorecard,” said Congressman Fitzgerald. “Being recognized by an organization whose sole mission is to fight to protect life is truly an honor. As a Member of Congress, I will continue working to deliver legislative victories for the unborn and stop forced taxpayer-funding of abortion in the United States.””

Congressman Scott Fitzgerald voted to pass the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), stating it advances policies to maintain American strength, security, and global dominance. The legislation includes provisions for strengthening border security, accelerating military technologies, investing in military assets, and authorizing a 3.8% pay raise for servicemembers. He also praised former President Trump's actions in strengthening America's standing internationally and ending wars.

“"I was proud to vote for the FY26 NDAA as it advances President Trump’s mission to keep America strong, secure, and dominant on the world stage. The bill accomplishes this by strengthening border security, accelerating next-generation military technologies, and investing in the ships, aircraft, and munitions needed to maintain American dominance. Most importantly, it puts our servicemembers first by authorizing a 3.8% pay raise and includes support for their families. [...] This legislation also codifies fifteen executive orders issued by President Trump and incorporates over thirty of his legislative priorities. These include declaring a national emergency at the southern border, eliminating DEI initiatives within the Department of War, and revising the National Missile Defense Policy to reflect the Golden Dome for America Policy. The FY26 NDAA is the kind of focused, no-nonsense policy that our nation deserves.” - Congressman Scott Fitzgerald, press release, "Rep. Fitzgerald Votes to Pass FY26 National Defense Authorization Act"”

Congressman Scott Fitzgerald supported the Pregnant Students’ Rights Act, stating that no woman should be forced to choose between her education and her unborn child. He believes this legislation strengthens protections for college students, enabling them to stay in school and achieve their educational goals during pregnancy.

““No woman should be forced to choose between her education and her unborn child,” said Congressman Fitzgerald. “The Pregnant Students’ Rights Act strengthens existing protections and ensures college students know their rights during pregnancy, empowering them to stay in school and build the future they envision for themselves and their children.””
