Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Wisconsin's 5th district, has shared a series of focused statements highlighting law enforcement, defense appointments, and community safety. Fitzgerald, who has been serving in Congress since 2021 after a lengthy tenure in the Wisconsin State Senate, took to social media to communicate his positions on these matters.

On March 26, 2025, Rep. Fitzgerald emphasized the importance of evolving laws to keep pace with technological advancements in law enforcement equipment. He stated, “Law enforcement relies on less-than-lethal weapons, such as tasers, to protect themselves in dangerous situations. Technology has progressed quickly and it’s important the law evolves to ensure departments across the country can access the critical equipment they need to keep us”.

On March 27, 2025, he expressed support for Mike Duffey’s confirmation in a defense role, saying, "Proud to introduce my good friend Mike Duffey for his confirmation hearing to be Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment." This appointment stands as a critical step for maintaining national defense capabilities.

Also on March 27, 2025, Rep. Fitzgerald addressed the issue of community safety, focusing on the presence of criminal organizations and the need for strong leadership. He remarked, "MS-13 and violent criminals have no business in our communities. Strong leadership and enforcing the law keeps Americans safe. Thank you, @POTUS, for your commitment to law and order—and hats off to @RealTomHoman for his relentless dedication to protecting our nation."
