Evidence
The campaign site says Scott will 'tirelessly defend Wisconsin values like the right to life and the Second Amendment.'
Fitzgerald said he voted for the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act and the Pregnant Students’ Rights Act, and that he would continue working to deliver legislative victories for the unborn.
Fitzgerald joined a House amicus brief in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett and said he was proud to join colleagues to ensure concealed-carry rights are available.
He introduced the Law-Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act of 2025, which would amend federal firearms law for less-than-lethal projectile devices.
In a House hearing transcript, Fitzgerald said he had worked on 'a number of different pro-life pieces of legislation' in the Wisconsin Senate, including constitutional amendments banning partial-birth abortion.
The House event transcript lists Scott Fitzgerald among the members participating in a hearing focused on Second Amendment rights.
Assessments
The promise was broad: to defend Wisconsin values including the right to life and the Second Amendment, not to enact a specific statute. In federal office, Fitzgerald took repeated official actions aligned with both parts of the pledge, including pro-life votes, public legislative advocacy, participation in relevant hearings, and joining a congressional amicus effort defending concealed-carry rights. Because the promised action was advocacy and defense rather than a concrete policy endpoint, these same-term congressional actions are sufficient to count as fulfilled.
The promise was broad and values-based: to defend the right to life and the Second Amendment. Fitzgerald took multiple same-term federal actions aligned with it, including votes for pro-life bills, joining a congressional amicus brief supporting concealed-carry rights, participating in Second Amendment hearings, and introducing related firearms legislation. However, the evidence shows advocacy, votes, and attempted or narrow policy actions rather than a completed federal outcome that fully delivered both promised policy goals. This supports partial credit with an effort badge, not full delivery.
The promise was broad and advocacy-oriented: to defend pro-life and Second Amendment positions. The evidence shows Fitzgerald took multiple official actions during his House service aligned with both parts of the claim, including pro-life votes, continued pro-life legislative advocacy, participation in relevant hearings, joining a Second Amendment amicus brief, and introducing firearms-related legislation. Because the promise did not specify passage of a particular law or measurable policy outcome, these official acts are sufficient to count as fulfillment rather than merely an unsuccessful attempt.
