Rep. Fitzgerald Votes to Condemn Socialism in All Forms & Protect Domestic Mining

September 4, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statements in response to the passage of two critical measures this week: H. Res. 1490 - Condemning Socialism in All Forms and H.R. 1501 - Protecting Domestic Mining Act. On the Resolution Condemning Socialism: “We have seen a dramatic rise in socialism in the United States over the past year which is completely antithetical to the American way of life and what the Founders intended,” said Congressman Fitzgerald . “This Resolution, which 192 House Democrats opposed, formally condemns socialism in all its forms, including the Democratic Socialists of America, and opposes socialist policies in the United States. Socialism gives government more power and leaves the people with less freedom. That is the exact opposite of what America stands for.” On the Protecting Domestic Mining Act: “This legislation will help make it easier to produce the minerals the United States needs right here at home,” said Congressman Fitzgerald . “By improving the permitting process for mining and mineral processing, we will strengthen our domestic supply chains and reduce our dependence on foreign adversaries like China. This is key to protecting our national security and supporting American manufacturing.” ###
