Time to kick off the week! Here's what you need to know:

Visit to Maranatha Baptist University

Last week, I was invited to visit the students and faculty of Maranatha Baptist University during an assembly. I'm grateful for the contributions MBU has made to the community of Watertown and the 5th District. Go Sabercats!

Visit to the Jefferson Fire Department

I stopped by to visit Jefferson's Fire Department to discuss how Congress can help the department continue serving the community effectively. Thank you to our first responders for keeping us safe!

Newsmax American Agenda Interview    

I joined Newsmax's American Agenda to discuss the national debt reaching $31 trillion this week, the harmful impact of teachers' unions, and the trial of the tragic Waukesha Christmas Parade attack.

Higher Gas Prices Coming Soon

Last week, OPEC+, a group of 23 oil-exporting countries, announced a reduction of 2 million barrels of oil production per day starting in November. This will likely cause gas prices to rise here at home, and is an example why energy independence is a matter of national security.

President Biden has announced he will release another 10 million more barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), in addition to the 180 million barrels released since April, to attempt to bail out the country from his damaging, anti-American energy policies. 

Alternatives to foreign oil exist here in the United States, but President Biden is determined to stifle American energy to appease the radical factions in his own party. As a consequence, hard-working, common sense Americans will pay for his mistakes.

Congressional App Challenge

I'm excited to announce my office will be participating in the Congressional App Challenge (CAC) again! The CAC is a competition designed to encourage student participation in computer science and coding. Open to all middle school and high school students of the 5th District! Please visit my website or call my office at (262) 784-1111 for more information.

Sincerely,

Scott Fitzgerald
Member of Congress
