Message from Congressman Scott Fitzgerald

Good morning, everyone, and happy Monday!

I’d like to begin this week’s eNewsletter by highlighting a statement I issued on Saturday in response to U.S. strikes against Iran:

"Today’s U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites represent strong, decisive action fully within President Trump’s constitutional authority as Commander in Chief. By targeting Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, the Administration has significantly degraded Tehran’s nuclear capabilities and disrupted a looming threat to global security.

"This action was not taken lightly, but with resolve, responsibility, and in pursuit of a more stable and peaceful future. By reducing Iran’s capacity to develop a nuclear weapon, these strikes send a clear and unmistakable message: America will act swiftly and with precision to defend our national interests and those of our allies.

"Now is the time for Iran to reassess its path and choose negotiation over provocation. While diplomacy should always remain our preferred path, I fully support President Trump’s use of legitimate, constitutional authority to protect the United States and prevent a far greater conflict down the road."

Keep reading on to hear additional updates about what's been happening in Washington and in Wisconsin. I hope you have a great week.
