Rep. Fitzgerald & Wisconsin House Republicans Urge Governor Evers to Submit Wisconsin’s Application for the Rural Health Transformation Program
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement after leading a letter with Wisconsin’s House Republican delegation to Governor Tony Evers, urging him to submit Wisconsin’s application for the Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The deadline for states to apply for funding is November 5, 2025.
“Rural communities in Wisconsin have fewer healthcare facilities and patients have longer travel times to see a doctor,” said Congressman Fitzgerald. “The Rural Health Transformation Program is a historic opportunity to reverse this trend and deliver real solutions for patients and small-town hospitals across our state. I was proud to vote for the Tax Cuts for Working Families legislation that made this possible. Governor Evers must act quickly and take advantage of this historic opportunity for Wisconsin.”
The letter was co-signed by Reps. Tom Tiffany (WI-07), Glenn Grothman (WI-06), Bryan Steil (WI-01), Derrick Van Orden (WI-03) and Tony Wied (WI-08).

So 3 weeks ago the Senate Republicans took a party line vote to change Senate rules and end the need for 60 votes so they could confirm Presidential nominees in a group rather than individually and do this by a simple majority. (I’m pretty sure they voted for this on 9-11-2025). They can change the rules right now and stop the government shutdown. Republicans are choosing to do this shutdown and Fitzgerald is choosing to lie about it like your typical lying liars Republican POS politician. And corporate media is participating in the lie like they usually do.
House Speaker, and all around weirdo Mike Johnson is also choosing to not swear in newly elected House Rep from AZ Adelita Grijalva. All this to avoid the passing of the discharge petition to enable a vote in the House to release the Epstein files. (A vote that Weirdo Johnson refuses to hold).
Today’s Republican Party are just a bunch of greedy liars.
I don’t understand why Representative Fitzgerald does nothing when it comes to military officers retired at full retirement pay who are convicted in federal court of receiving bribes while on active duty.
I also don’t understand why Representative Fitzgerald wrote an article on the importance of public debate when he refuses to debate anyone running against him. (Representative Fitzgerald is NO CHARLIE KIRK. Charlie Kirk was willing to publicly discuss what he believed with evidence and logical thinking.)
I write and visit Representative Fitzgerald’s office, and there is nothing. He hopes to follow others because he is a Republican and . . . I’ll write another letter to The Freeman, and there will be no response from Representative Fitzgerald. He is… NOT CHARLIE KIRK, a man who would talk to people and explain his ideas and listen to what others had to say..
Dueane,
I don’t disagree, but I am concerned when we categorize people as Republican and Democrat, liberal and conservative, right and left. . . There are good people in all of these groups, and then there are those who are bad.
There is Representative Fitzgerald . . . and there are good Representatives of both parties.
