Pending Review [constituency_baseline] District summary: Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District covers southeastern Wisconsin, including all of Kenosha, Racine, and Walworth counties, plus portions of Rock, Waukesha, and Milwaukee counties. It stretches from Janesville and Beloit in the west to Racine and Kenosha along Lake Michigan in the east. With a population of approximately 734,000, it is 74.2% White (non-Hispanic), 13.3% Hispanic, and 6.0% Black. The median household income is $79,703 with a 9.8% poverty rate and a homeownership rate of 68.3%. The Cook PVI of R+3 makes it a competitive, Republican-leaning district — formerly held by Speaker Paul Ryan. The economy is anchored by manufacturing (SC Johnson, Snap-on, CNH Industrial), logistics (Uline, Amazon distribution centers), healthcare and insurance (Northwestern Mutual headquarters nearby), and agriculture. The median age is 40.6 and 30.2% of residents hold a bachelor's degree. In 2024, Steil won reelection with 54.1% to Democrat Peter Barca's 43.8%.

Pending Review Voted yea on S. 1383 / H.R. 22 (SAVE America Act / SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility)) on 2025-04-10: As Chairman of the House Administration Committee, Steil led House passage of legislation requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote (220-208). Called it essential 'to prevent non-citizen voting.' Critics including Wisconsin Secretary of State candidate JoCasta Zamarripa called it a 'direct attack on Wisconsin voters' that would disenfranchise eligible voters.
Date: 2025-04-10 Added: 27 Apr 2026
Pending Review Voted yea on H.R. 21 (Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act) on 2025-01-23: Voted for legislation imposing criminal penalties on healthcare practitioners. Steil has an A+ rating from Susan B. Anthony List, called Roe's overturn 'a great victory,' and voted against the 2022 Right to Contraception Act — establishing him as a reliable anti-abortion vote.
Date: 2025-01-23 Added: 27 Apr 2026
Pending Review Voted yea on H.R. 1 (119th) (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) on 2025-07-03: Supported Trump's signature reconciliation bill (218-214) that CBO projected would add trillions to deficits.

Date: 2025-07-03 Added: 27 Apr 2026
Pending Review Voted nay on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-04-20: Voted against $60 billion in Ukraine military aid while supporting aid to Israel and Taiwan. Stated on PBS Wisconsin that he opposed 'the significant amount of humanitarian aid funding that wasn't paid for' — a fiscal concern that did not extend to his subsequent vote for the OBBB deficit increase. Earned an F from Republicans for Ukraine.
Date: 2024-04-20 Added: 27 Apr 2026
Pending Review Voted yea on H.R. 8404 (Respect for Marriage Act) on 2022-12-08: Only Wisconsin House Republican to vote for codifying federal recognition of same-sex and interracial marriages. Broke with all other Wisconsin GOP members and 169 House Republicans to join 39 Republicans supporting the bill — a notable bipartisan vote that distinguishes him from the Freedom Caucus wing.
Date: 2022-12-08 Added: 27 Apr 2026
Pending Review Voted nay on H.R. 5376 (Inflation Reduction Act of 2022) on 2022-08-12: Opposed the IRA which capped insulin at $35/month for Medicare recipients, empowered Medicare drug price negotiation, and extended ACA subsidies covering 43,000 additional Wisconsinites — then tried to claim credit for lowering drug costs in campaign materials.
Date: 2022-08-12 Added: 27 Apr 2026
Pending Review Voted nay on H.R. 4346 (CHIPS and Science Act) on 2022-07-28: Voted against the bipartisan semiconductor manufacturing bill that spurred job creation in southern Wisconsin.

Pending Review Voted nay on H.R. 3684 (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) on 2021-11-05: Opposed $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package funding roads, bridges, and broadband for southeastern Wisconsin.

Pending Review Voted nay on H.R. 1319 (American Rescue Plan Act of 2021) on 2021-02-27: Opposed $1.9 trillion COVID relief that delivered $1,400 stimulus checks, expanded child tax credits, and $5.7 billion in state and local aid to Wisconsin — including millions for the cities and counties he represents.

Pending Review Voted yea (on objections) on H.Res. 24 / H.Res. 37 (117th) (Objections to Electoral College Certification (Arizona and Pennsylvania)) on 2021-01-06: Voted to block certification of President Biden's 2020 election victory hours after the Capitol insurrection. As the current Chair of the House Administration Committee overseeing federal elections, his refusal to accept electoral results set the stage for his subsequent hiring of an election-denial staffer and ongoing promotion of debunked election integrity claims.
Date: 2021-01-06 Added: 27 Apr 2026

Anthony List and voted for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, against the Right to Contraception Act, and for legislation restricting mifepristone access.

In a March 2026 telephone town hall, Steil 'continued to tout debunked claims about election integrity' and refused to directly state that Joe Biden won the 2020 election legitimately.
Date: 2026-02-25 Added: 27 Apr 2026
