[constituency_baseline] District summary: Wisconsin's 8th Congressional District encompasses the northeastern portion of the state, including Green Bay, Appleton, De Pere, the Door County peninsula, and parts of the Northwoods up to Marinette. With a population of 742,398 and a Cook PVI of R+10 to R+15, it is a solidly Republican district that has not elected a Democrat since 2008. The district is 84.9% White (non-Hispanic), 6.53% Hispanic, with only 3.88% foreign-born — among the lowest immigration exposure in the country. Median household income is $78,966 (well above the national median), homeownership is 72.8%, and the poverty rate is 5.6-8.27%. Median age is 41, skewing older than the national median. Key industries include paper manufacturing (Wisconsin is the #1 paper-producing state, and about half of the state's 30,000 paper workers are in Winnebago, Outagamie, and Brown counties), food processing, shipbuilding, agriculture (dairy), healthcare, and tourism. The district is anchored by the Green Bay-Appleton metropolitan corridor. Wied won the seat in 2024 with 57.3% of the vote, succeeding retiring Republican Mike Gallagher.

Voted yea on H.R. 471 (119th Congress) (Lower Healthcare Premiums for All Americans Act) on 2025-12-17: Wied voted Yea on a bill expanding Association Health Plans and CHOICE Arrangements — alternatives that critics say shift costs to workers and allow stripped-down plans that bypass ACA essential health benefits. This is directly relevant to his campaign pledge not to undermine the ACA, and to his own enrollment in an ACA exchange plan.

Voted yea_unverified on H.R. 23 (119th Congress) (Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act (ICC Sanctions)) on 2025-01-09: Wied voted Yea to sanction the International Criminal Court over arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. No significant pro-Israel donor interest appears in Wied's top contributor list. The vote reflects ideological alignment with Trump/GOP foreign policy rather than a donor-constituent tension. WI-08 has no identifiable constituency interest in ICC policy.

Voted yea on S. 1071 (119th Congress) (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026) on 2025-12-10: Wied voted Yea on the NDAA. Notably, the House-passed NDAA included Section 1110 restoring collective bargaining rights for civilian DoD employees — a provision labor unions supported. Wied's Yea vote on a bill with a pro-union provision is notable given his otherwise pro-business voting record, though the overall defense bill was a party-line priority.

WI-08 is 97.9% citizen and only 3.88% foreign-born, with a 6.53% Hispanic population — among the lowest immigration exposure of any district. The vote aligned with Trump's border-security messaging but has minimal direct constituent impact. Wied prominently touted this vote in constituent communications.

Voted yea on H.R. 1 (119th Congress) (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (FY2025 Budget Reconciliation)) on 2025-05-22: Wied voted Yea on Trump's signature reconciliation bill (218-214). The Wisconsin Department of Health Services projects the bill will strip health insurance from 270,000 Wisconsinites and cut SNAP for 375,000 families. WI-08 has 8.27% poverty rate and a median household income of $78,966, with significant rural and working-class populations who rely on ACA subsidies and Medicaid. Wied celebrated the bill while constituents at town halls voiced opposition to safety-net cuts, creating cross-pressure between party loyalty and constituent healthcare access.
