Due to the slow response by the Republican-controlled Wisconsin legislature to waive a requirement that unemployed Wisconsites wait a week before they can be reimbursed unemployment benefits, Wisconsin lost out on $25M in federal funding from the federal CARES Act.

Scott L. Fitzgerald (born November 16, 1963) is an American politician and one-time newspaper publisher. He is a Republican member of the Wisconsin Senate, representing the 13th District since 1994.[1] He In the wake of the 2018 elections when Democratic candidates were elected to the offices of governor, attorney general and secretary of state in Wisconsin, Fitzgerald pushed for legislation to remove powers from the incoming Democratic administration.[2]

He graduated from Hustisford High School in 1981, and earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh in 1985. He worked for nearly a decade as a newspaper publisher.

He completed the Army Command and General Staff College and served in a number of assignments during his 27 years of service, including battalion commander. In 2009, he retired at the rank of lieutenant colonel. [3]

2011 Wisconsin protests

See also: 2011 Wisconsin protests

In 2011 there were public employee protests conducted in opposition to Governor Scott Walker's budget repair bill. In January 2011, Fitzgerald said he wanted to meet with the unions before changing the laws, adding, "We're not going to walk through hell and go through that if the Governor doesn't offer that up."[4]

On February 8, 2011, Fitzgerald's father was appointed to head the state patrol by the Walker Administration.[5] Three days later, Governor Walker introduced his budget repair bill that limited collective bargaining from most municipal workers, which Fitzgerald, and all but one Republican in the State Senate, supported.[6]

Tax policies

Fitzgerald has been a proponent of policies to reduce the tax burden during his legislative tenure. In 2019, the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau analyzed tax law changes implemented under Republican legislative leadership over a ten year period since 2011, concluding that Fitzgerald and legislative leaders had advanced policies cutting taxes by more than $13 billion.[7]

Curbing the powers of an incoming Democratic administration

In the wake of the 2018 elections when Democratic candidates were elected to the offices of governor, attorney general and secretary of state in Wisconsin, Fitzgerald pushed for legislation to take powers away from the incoming Democratic administration. The legislation would also reduce the time allowed for early voting in Wisconsin election.[2][8] The bill would also prevent the incoming Democratic administration from withdrawing from a lawsuit seeking to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) by taking the power to do so away from the governor and granting it to the legislature.[2] Fitzgerald described concern over the stripping of power as a "manufactured outrage by the Democrats".[9] Fitzgerald justified the attempt to curb the powers of the incoming administration, saying "state legislators are the closest to those we represent."[10]

U.S. House of Representatives

He did not have to give up his state senate seat to make his congressional bid; Wisconsin state senators serve staggered four-year terms, and Fitzgerald was not up for reelection until 2022.

Sensenbrenner, first elected to Congress in 1978, later endorsed Fitzgerald, saying that he would "be proud to pass the baton" to Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald as his successor in Congress.[12]

Family

Fitzgerald's father, Stephen "Steve" Fitzgerald, was Sheriff of Dodge County, Wisconsin, for 14 years and served as the U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Wisconsin. He was later appointed head of the Wisconsin State Patrol by Walker.[13]

Fitzgerald's younger brother, Jeff, was an Assembly Representative from the 39th Assembly District, and was Assembly Speaker during the 2011–2012 legislative session.[3]

Personal life

Fitzgerald and his wife, Lisa, have three sons.[3]
