Evidence

"Rep. Fitzgerald’s Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act Passes House of Representatives" and "June 5, 2026"

Official House website shows Fitzgerald touting House passage of a violent-offender bill during the lookback window, which is concrete public-safety legislative activity aligned with the promise but not proof that Waukesha-like tragedies have been prevented.

"Rep. Fitzgerald’s Law-Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act Passes House"

The same official House page reports passage of a police de-escalation bill, another concrete public-safety step during the lookback window that supports ongoing effort but not full delivery of the broader anti-tragedy commitment.

Congress.gov lists H.R.2189 as sponsored by Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, with latest House action on 02/12/2026 and status 'Passed House'; it records House passage by 233-185 and does not show Senate passage, presentment, or enactment.

Official bill status confirms Fitzgerald advanced a public-safety/de-escalation bill through the House in the same term, but the measure had not become law, so it supports partial progress rather than full delivery of preventing similar tragedies.

The House Clerk records Roll Call 70 on H.R.2189: Vote Question 'On Passage,' Status 'Passed,' 233 yeas to 185 nays; Rep. Fitzgerald, Republican of Wisconsin, voted Yea.

The official roll call proves Fitzgerald personally voted for House passage of the de-escalation bill, a concrete same-term action aligned with continued public-safety work, though not final delivery.

The House Judiciary report says H.R.2189, introduced by Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, would exempt certain conducted electrical weapons from the federal firearm definition as less-than-lethal projectile devices; it describes these devices as a non-lethal means for de-escalating potentially violent encounters.

The committee report explains why the bill is relevant to the promise: it targets law-enforcement de-escalation tools for violent encounters. That is meaningful effort, but still narrower than preventing Waukesha-like attacks overall.

Congress.gov member activity lists H.R.6260, the Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act, sponsored by Fitzgerald, in the Crime and Law Enforcement area, with latest action 01/08/2026 ordered to be reported amended by 15-9 and status 'Introduced.'

Official member activity shows Fitzgerald sponsored a violent-offender bill and secured committee action, but the tracker still did not show House passage, Senate passage, presentment, or enactment. This supports effort with the outcome still unresolved.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Fitzgerald materially advanced public-safety legislation in the same federal term, including sponsoring H.R.2189 and seeing it pass the House, voting for it, and sponsoring violent-offender legislation tied to crime and law enforcement. These actions align with the promise to keep fighting after the Waukesha attack. However, the cited measures had not become enacted federal law, and the broader outcome of ensuring similar tragedies are never repeated is not demonstrably delivered. The proper credit is meaningful same-term progress, not full fulfillment.

partial same_term A for effort

Fitzgerald appears to have taken concrete same-term action consistent with the promise to keep fighting on public safety: the evidence shows House passage of bills he promoted on violent offenders and police de-escalation. But the record here does not show that these measures became law, directly solved the failure exposed by the 2021 Waukesha attack, or achieved the broader outcome of preventing similar tragedies. That supports meaningful credit for effort and legislative advancement, but not full delivery.
