WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address:

“This year marks the 250th anniversary of our great nation, and over the past year, President Trump’s leadership has delivered real results for American families, workers, and communities. He outlined a clear path to build on the progress he has already made strengthening the economy, securing our borders, and rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in our government. His commitment to American energy independence has already lowered gas prices to a four-year low, with the Wisconsin average at just $2.53.

“The President also emphasized the importance of protecting our elections, and the House has already acted by passing the SAVE America Act. Eighty-three percent of Americans support voter ID, and this legislation is a critical step toward ensuring every vote is secure. President Trump even called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune by name to get this bill passed in the Senate. This is our chance to protect our elections once and for all.

“Meanwhile, Democrats are choosing to withhold DHS funding, proving once again they put illegal aliens ahead of American citizens. On the contrary, under President Trump’s leadership, border security is a top priority, and for nine straight months there have been zero releases at the border. He also signed an executive order formally designating illicit fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction in response to the widespread tragic deaths it has caused across our country. Additionally, he called on Congress to pass the Dalilah Law, which would prohibit states from issuing commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. This bill is named in honor of Dalilah Coleman, who was just five years old when she was struck and severely injured by an 18-wheeler operated by an illegal alien in 2024.

“From tax relief to policies that lower the cost of living and support job growth, President Trump’s agenda is delivering tangible benefits to hardworking Americans. He has also strengthened America’s standing in the world. In his first ten months back in office, he ended eight wars, proving that strong leadership at home goes hand in hand with a safer, more secure world abroad.

“Thanks to President Trump’s efforts, our nation is stronger, our borders are secure, and the promise of America’s future remains bright.”
