[Neenah, WI] – Elizabeth Fitzgibbon today announced her Independent campaign for the United States Congress in Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District after submitting the nomination petitions required to seek ballot access.

Fitzgibbon received significant support in the petition process, garnering hundreds more signatures than required. People have responded enthusiastically to her campaign focused on the issues families across the district are feeling every day: rising grocery bills, higher utility costs, unaffordable housing, healthcare frustration, and a political system that seems more interested in protecting itself than solving problems.

“People are working hard, doing everything right, and still falling behind,” Fitzgibbon said. “Groceries cost more. Gas costs more. Housing costs more. Healthcare costs more. And instead of fixing it, Washington gives us more excuses, more spending, more political theater, and more blame.”

Fitzgibbon is running as an Independent because she believes both major parties have become too invested in the dysfunction they campaign against.

“Washington has turned every problem into red versus blue,” Fitzgibbon said. “But when the campaign slogans stop, who is actually fighting for us? Families in Wisconsin’s 6th District deserve representation that is not owned by either party, not controlled by insiders, and not afraid to challenge the system when it fails the people.”

Fitzgibbon’s decision to run was shaped in part by her own years-long legal battle, including an appeal that reached the United States Supreme Court. She said that experience gave her a firsthand look at how difficult it can be for ordinary citizens to get accountability from institutions that are supposed to protect their rights.

“I went into that process believing the system would correct itself if the facts and the Constitution were clear enough,” Fitzgibbon said. “What I saw was something much bigger than one case. I saw a system that too often protects procedure over people, insiders over citizens, and power over accountability.”

Fitzgibbon said that same pattern appears across government: in the economy, in healthcare, in education, in the courts, and in the way federal power reaches into the daily lives of families and local communities.

“The affordability crisis is not happening by accident,” Fitzgibbon said. “It is the result of a government that spends without discipline, regulates without common sense, and protects politically connected insiders while working families pay the bill.”

Fitzgibbon also drew a contrast with the current representation in Washington.

“Congressman Glenn Grothman has been in Washington for more than a decade,” Fitzgibbon said. “That is more than enough time to lower costs, restore trust, and clean up the system. Instead, ignoring his own term limits pledge, he’s become a DC lifer and part of the problem. He gets a cushy office while families are still paying more, the debt is still climbing, and Washington still works better for insiders like him than it does for the people who sent them there.”

Fitzgibbon said her campaign will be built around three core priorities:

Affordability: lowering the cost of living by challenging reckless federal spending, waste, and policies that drive up costs for working families.

Accountability: making sure government officials, agencies, courts, and political insiders are not above the rules they impose on everyone else.

Transparency: exposing backroom deals, hidden incentives, and political games that put insiders and party politics ahead of families.

“This campaign is a national mission with a local promise. We can’t afford to send another party loyalist to Washington,” Fitzgibbon said. “We need someone who will ask the questions both parties avoid: Who benefits from this system? Who pays the price? And how do we make government answer to the people again?”

Fitzgibbon said she is running to give voters in Wisconsin’s 6th District an alternative to politics as usual. No more policies that sound good but don’t deliver. She pledges to audit the system and get to the root of the problems.

“People are tired of being told to pick a side while nothing gets fixed,” Fitzgibbon said. “I am running because families deserve lower costs, honest government, and a representative who works for them, not for a party machine.”About Elizabeth Fitzgibbon
