Voters returned U.S. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald in the 5th District to his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives Tuesday.
With 77% of the ballots counted, the AP called the 5th District race for Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) at 9:14 p.m. Fitzgerald defeated Democrat Andy Beck of West Bend, winning a fourth term in office.
The 5th District covers all of Jefferson and Washington counties, most of Waukesha County and a portion of Dodge County.
Beck, who has worked in healthcare sales, marketing and customer service for a variety of firms, ran a grass-roots campaign. He raised a little less than $15,000 as of June 30, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
Fitzgerald, a former state senator who was first elected to Congress in 2020, raised more than 10 times that amount, $1.7 million in the 2025-26 cycle, spending more than $1.3 million in the same period, Open Secrets reports.
