““When illegal aliens are found on state voter rolls, it significantly undermines Americans’ confidence in our elections,” said Chairman Steil. “I will continue to seek answers on how frequently this happens and what states are [...]"”

He believes education decisions are best made locally and supports providing parents and students with choices. Steil has advocated for safely reopening schools, pressed for FAFSA process repairs, and expressed concerns about the cost of student loan forgiveness to taxpayers.

“As I talk to families across Wisconsin, I consistently hear from concerned parents about the quality of their children’s education and mental health. I am committed to promoting positive academic outcomes, giving parents the access and transparency they deserve in their children’s education, and improving the overall mental well-being of children.

When we provide parents and students with choices in education, they can decide the best options that fit their needs." - Bryan Steil, http://steil.house.gov/issues/education”

Bryan Steil advocates for Second Amendment rights, emphasizing responsible gun ownership and stating it is integral to the Wisconsin lifestyle. He voted against H.R. 8, explaining that restricting the rights of law-abiding citizens is ineffective for preventing gun violence. He suggests focusing instead on enforcing existing laws, supporting law enforcement, and addressing mental health issues.

“I am a strong advocate of our Second Amendment rights. I am also a gun owner. Our right to bear arms is guaranteed by the Constitution and responsible gun ownership is an important part of the Wisconsin way of life. I will continue to support the right to bear arms for all law-abiding citizens and I will actively watch for any legislation that may infringe on this right. To reduce violence and protect our community, we must focus on enforcing laws already on the books, ensuring law enforcement has the tools they need to do their jobs, and recognizing and treating the very real mental health issues many Americans face. Restricting the rights and freedoms of law-abiding citizens as proposed in H.R. 8 is ineffective in preventing gun violence. - Bryan Steil, statement after voting against H.R. 8, Steil.house.gov/issues/second-amendment”
