Last updated: March 4, 2026
Scott's Positions on Key Issues
Economy
HighCongressman Scott Fitzgerald prioritizes solutions to get Americans back to work and enhance U.S. economic competitiveness. He advocates for cutting regulatory burdens on businesses and opposes policies like a federal minimum wage that he believes eliminate worker freedom. He introduced the Interstate Commerce Simplification Act to prevent state income taxes on businesses without a physical presence. Fitzgerald also praised former President Trump's leadership for strengthening the economy, lowering gas prices, providing tax relief, and supporting job growth.
“This year marks the 250th anniversary of our great nation, and over the past year, President Trump’s leadership has delivered real results for American families, workers, and communities. He outlined a clear path to build on the progress he has already made strengthening the economy, securing our borders, and rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in our government. His commitment to American energy independence has already lowered gas prices to a four-year low, with the Wisconsin average at just $2.53. From tax relief to policies that lower the cost of living and support job growth, President Trump’s agenda is delivering tangible benefits to hardworking Americans. He has also strengthened America’s standing in the world. In his first ten months back in office, he ended eight wars, proving that strong leadership at home goes hand in hand with a safer, more secure world abroad. Thanks to President Trump's efforts, our nation is stronger, our borders are secure, and the promise of America’s future remains bright." - Congressman Scott Fitzgerald, Statement on President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union Address, February 25, 2026.”
Immigration
HighRepresentative 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.”
Healthcare
HighCongressman 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.”
Climate & Energy
MediumRepresentative 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.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
HighCongressman 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.””
Foreign Policy
HighCongressman 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"”
Education
HighCongressman 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.””
Gun Policy

““Less-than-lethal weapons give law enforcement critical options to de-escalate dangerous situations safely and protect lives. The Law-Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act ensures outdated federal definitions don’t stand in the way of officers accessing the equipment they need [...]” — Scott Lawrence Fitzgerald, U.S. Representative of Wisconsin's 5th congressional district, Waukesha Times, February 12, 2026”
