Overview
Scott Fitzgerald is a Republican representing Wisconsin in the U.S. House of Representatives. His voting record shows strong alignment with conservative principles, particularly on procedural matters where he consistently opposes Democratic-led resolutions and supports Republican alternatives. In the healthcare category, which represents his most active voting area, Fitzgerald has supported approximately 48% of measures that came to a vote, suggesting selective support based on the specific policy proposals rather than blanket opposition or approval. His defense votes show unanimous support for the measures considered, indicating strong backing for military and national security legislation. On budget matters, his 43% support rate reflects a selective approach to fiscal legislation, likely opposing spending measures he views as inconsistent with conservative fiscal principles while supporting those aligned with Republican priorities. His limited voting record on agriculture and education makes it difficult to draw comprehensive conclusions about his positions in these areas.
