Tony's Positions on Key Issues
Economy
HighCongressman Tony Wied supported historic tax cuts for working families and efforts to lower inflation and interest rates, aiming to make life more affordable for constituents. He sponsored the Destroying Unnecessary, Misaligned, and Prohibitive (DUMP) Red Tape Act and the Facility for Runway Operations and Safe Transportation (FROST) Act, both of which passed the House. He also highlighted wins for small business owners through Working Families Tax Cuts and serves on the Committees on Agriculture, Small Business, and Transportation and Infrastructure.
““Last night, we watched President Trump reflect on our substantial wins over the last thirteen months and outline his vision for success in the next three years,” said Congressman Wied. “From historic tax cuts for hardworking American families to lower inflation and interest rates and the most secure border in American history, President Trump and Republicans have delivered for the American people. Anyone who watched last night’s speech knows that President Trump has ignited the Great American Comeback. No matter how much Democrats try to grandstand and obstruct our progress, I remain committed to working with the President to continue making life more affordable for Northeast Wisconsinites, keep our streets safe, and put America first.” (Congressman Tony Wied, Statement on President Trump's State of the Union Address)”
Immigration
HighTony Wied prioritizes border security, viewing the number of people crossing the border illegally as a crisis that impacts all states, including Wisconsin. He supports the enforcement of immigration laws by ICE officers and has applauded Trump administration policies on border security, attributing increased safety to reduced border crossings. Wied also introduced the SAFE Cities Act, which aims to withhold federal funds from jurisdictions uncooperative with federal law enforcement.
“Wied said ICE officers were “simply enforcing our immigration and enforcing the law” and called Democratic rhetoric on ICE’s deployment across the country “troubling.” (Green Bay Press-Gazette, 2026/01/13)”
Healthcare
HighCongressman Tony Wied supported and voted to pass the Lower Healthcare Premiums for All Americans Act. He stated that the legislation aims to reform the healthcare system, expand choice and competition, and increase transparency to reduce costs for Americans. Wied criticized Democrats for contributing to existing healthcare issues and for not collaborating on these reforms.
“Let’s be very clear: Democrats singlehandedly created the healthcare system they are now railing against. Instead of working with us to address this issue, they would rather try to use it as political leverage in the midterms. Yesterday, House Republicans passed the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act to reform our broken system, expand choice and competition, and provide the transparency needed to lower health care costs for all Americans. If Democrats were serious about preventing hardworking Americans’ premiums from skyrocketing next year, they would have joined us to pass these reforms. Unfortunately, that was not the case. — Rep. Tony Wied (R-WI), statement after passage of the Lower Healthcare Premiums for All Americans Act, December 18, 2025.”
Climate & Energy
MediumTony Wied has consistently voted against environmental protection measures, reflected in his 0% lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) and a 0% score for 2025 from Wisconsin Conservation Voters. He voted "Yea" on the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act (H.R.4758) and the Don’t Mess With My Home Appliances Act (H.R.4626). LCV noted his votes on measures like eliminating EPA's cleaner car rules and rolling back the methane polluter fee.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
HighTony Wied opposes abortion rights and supports overturning Roe v. Wade, believing the issue belongs to individual states rather than the U.S. House of Representatives. He acknowledges the Supreme Court's decision returning abortion authority to the states. He has stated that his focus in Congress will be on matters he can control at the federal level, not on state-level abortion policy.
“Well, my wife and I have four children, and I can tell you that it is the greatest joy of our life -- having children. You know, the Supreme Court, though, did make the decision recently, and it is back in the states' hands like it was before the previous decision. So I believe wholeheartedly it is a states' rights issue and not something that we deal with in the House of Representatives. (Tony Wied, FOX 11, Beyond the Podium interview)”
Foreign Policy
HighRepresentative Tony Wied supports President Trump's foreign policy agenda, including actions such as the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Wied stated that such actions were law enforcement measures taken 'in the best interests of our own hemisphere,' citing Article 2 of the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution. He emphasizes working with the President to 'put America first'.
““Last night, we watched President Trump reflect on our substantial wins over the last thirteen months and outline his vision for success in the next three years. From historic tax cuts for hardworking American families to lower inflation and interest rates and the most secure border in American history, President Trump and Republicans have delivered for the American people. Anyone who watched last night’s speech knows that President Trump has ignited the Great American Comeback. No matter how much Democrats try to grandstand and obstruct our progress, I remain committed to working with the President to continue making life more affordable for Northeast Wisconsinites, keep our streets safe, and put America first.” - Congressman Tony Wied, statement after State of the Union address”
Education

Gun Policy
HighCongressman Tony Wied introduced the Freedom from Improper Regulation and Enforcement (FIRE) Act to prohibit federal, state, and local restrictions on firearm magazine capacity. He states this legislation ensures law-abiding gun owners can access magazines of any size and vigilantly affirms Second Amendment rights. Wied has received endorsements from organizations including the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America.
““For too long, the federal government has infringed on American’s Second Amendment rights while maintaining a confusing, inconsistent system that lacks a uniform national standard and invites legal disparity,” said Congressman Wied. “The FIRE Act ensures that law-abiding gun owners can access magazines of any size, no matter where they are in the United States. It’s well past time we take the Founding Father’s words’ “shall not be infringed” seriously.””
