Meet Scott.
Elected in 2020, Congressman Fitzgerald proudly represents Wisconsin’s Fifth Congressional District in Congress. Serving on the House Committee on Financial Services, Congressman Fitzgerald is working to protect taxpayers and lower costs for seniors and hard-working families. He also serves on the House Committee on the Judiciary where he works to protect the rule of law and rein in D.C.'s out-of-control bureaucracies.
Fitzgerald graduated from Hustisford High School in 1981 and earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 1985. He purchased and ran the Dodge County Independent News in Juneau in 1990 and sold it in 1996 to the Watertown Daily Times where he remained as an associate publisher for a number of years.
In 1981, Fitzgerald joined the US Army Reserve and served his country for 27 years, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
In the Wisconsin Senate, Fitzgerald led the fight on the historic Act 10 reform, Voter ID, balanced budgets, and billions in tax cuts and property tax relief for Wisconsin families.
Fitzgerald and his wife, Lisa, own a small farm in rural Clyman. They have three sons — Scott, Brennan, and Connor — and two grandsons.
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives write and vote on federal laws, including the federal budget. Each represents one district and serves a two-year term. Tax bills must start in the House, only the House can impeach federal officials, and members oversee federal agencies through their committees.
