[constituency_baseline] District summary: Wisconsin's 6th Congressional District stretches from Lake Michigan through rural, suburban, and exurban communities between Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay, including Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, and parts of Ozaukee County. With approximately 738,897 residents, the district is 87.5% White and heavily Republican (Cook PVI R+23). The median household income is $75,789, well above the national median but below neighboring suburban Milwaukee districts. Homeownership is 71.7% and poverty is just 5.7%. Manufacturing dominates the economy with 92,928 jobs — the most of any congressional district nationally as a share of total employment — followed by health care (47,574) and retail trade (40,279). Key manufacturing employers include Oshkosh Corp (defense vehicles), Sargento Foods, Mercury Marine (Brunswick Corp), and numerous paper and packaging firms. Agriculture is significant, with the district being a major dairy and grain producer. The district is heavily car-dependent (77.6% drive alone) with a short 21.4-minute mean commute. Grothman has held the seat since 2015, winning re-election in 2024 with over 60% of the vote.

Voted nay on H.R. 2550 (Protecting America's Workforce Act (restoring collective bargaining rights for federal workers)) on 2025-12-11: Grothman voted against restoring collective bargaining rights for over one million federal workers. His district's manufacturing-heavy workforce (92,928 manufacturing employees, the largest sector) includes many union members. His top donor Northwestern Mutual's insurance sector is not directly unionized, placing this as an against_constituent vote on labor rights — though notable primarily in the context of his manufacturing constituency rather than donor pressure.

Voted nay on H.R. 8337 (Continuing Resolution to fund federal government through December 11, 2020) on 2020-09-22: Grothman voted against a continuing resolution that kept the government open, one of only 57 House members (5 Republicans, 52 Democrats dissenting on various grounds). The bill passed 359-57. While Grothman stated he was 'against government shutdowns' and voted no on procedural grounds (insufficient review time), his 2025 claim to be a 'reliable vote to keep the government running' creates cross-pressure with his record. This vote is a reversal from his self-portrayal as a consistent anti-shutdown vote.

Voted nay on H.R. 7108 (Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act) on 2022-03-17: Grothman was one of only 8 House members (all Republicans including Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert) to vote against stripping Russia of normal trade relations after the Ukraine invasion, while 424 voted yea. 209 of 217 voting Republicans supported the bill; Grothman was among just 3.7% of the GOP conference to defect. He cited Magnitsky Act concerns rather than opposing Russia sanctions on their merits, and later voted for an amended version. This vote was a party_defection by a wide margin.

Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (budget reconciliation — Medicaid/SNAP cuts, tax reform)) on 2025-07-03: Grothman voted with a narrow 215-214 Republican majority for a bill that the AFL-CIO and independent estimates project could cause 30,145 constituents in WI-06 to lose health insurance within 10 years and over 280,000 Wisconsinites to lose coverage. His district has 5.7% poverty and significant Medicaid enrollment. Grothman had earlier expressed skepticism about the bill's 'sincerity' and told constituents cutting Medicaid 'would be a mistake,' making this vote an against_constituent reversal. The bill passed by one vote; his was decisive.

[vote] On July 3, 2025, Grothman voted Yea on H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Roll Call 190), which the AFL-CIO assessed would enact 'devastating cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other important social safety programs to provide tax-cuts to the rich.'
