WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statements in response to the passage of three critical pieces of legislation this week: the FY26 Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, the Protecting Prudent Investment of Retirement Savings Act, and the Saving Homeowners from Overregulation With Exceptional Rinsing (SHOWER) Act.

On the FY26 Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act:

“This funding package delivers real savings for taxpayers while putting America’s national security first,” said Congressman Fitzgerald. “This bill cuts billions in wasteful spending, reins in a weaponized IRS, and ensures the United States does not send blank checks abroad to nations that wish us harm. By eliminating woke DEI and ‘green’ programs and holding international institutions accountable, this bill upholds the mission of DOGE and strengthens America’s position at home and abroad.”

On the Protecting Prudent Investment of Retirement Savings Act:

“Americans’ retirement savings should be protected, not politicized,” said Congressman Fitzgerald. “The Biden-Harris Administration’s leftist ESG rule put hardworking families at risk by allowing political agendas to override sound investment decisions. This legislation protects retirement savings by ensuring financial institutions make investment decisions based on financial returns, not radical social experiments.”

On the Saving Homeowners from Overregulation With Exceptional Rinsing (SHOWER) Act:

“Americans should decide what showerheads they use in their own homes, not left-wing bureaucrats in Washington,” said Congressman Fitzgerald. “Democrats twisted the law to push an extreme environmental agenda that reduced water pressure and limited consumer choice. The SHOWER Act ends this micromanagement, restores commonsense standards for showerheads, and makes clear that Washington should not control how families live.”
