WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s 2025 Joint Address to Congress:

“Tonight, President Trump laid out a bold vision for America—one that focuses on strengthening our economy, securing the border, restoring accountability in government, and reaffirming America’s leadership on the world stage. His commitment to cutting taxes for hardworking Americans, eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, and keeping our nation safe resonates with Wisconsinites who want a government that works for them, not against them.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we’ve seen policies that put American jobs first, secure our borders, promote energy independence, reduce crime, protect free speech, and rein in unelected federal bureaucrats. His call to rein in out-of-control spending, balance the federal budget, and put America first is exactly what we need to combat inflation and restore stability to our economy.

“I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to advance the pro-growth, pro-security, and pro-America policies President Trump outlined tonight. The American people deserve a government that is accountable, effective, and focused on their needs—not partisan games. I stand with President Trump in his mission to restore prosperity and get our nation back on track. As he said tonight: ‘America is back!’”
