• Remained silent following George Floyd's murder and on conversion therapy bans 394 days silent
  Expected position: As a sitting member of Congress representing a district that includes diverse suburban communities in the Milwaukee metro area, Fitzgerald would be expected to address major civil rights and social issues affecting his constituents. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Multiple tracking sources note Fitzgerald's silence on these issues. During the same period, Fitzgerald was publicly active, issuing statements on border security, voting against impeachment, and communicating on economic issues. West Allis, a city in his district, banned conversion therapy during this window, yet Fitzgerald made no public comment. He was actively posting on X about taxes, energy, and immigration enforcement.

• Refused to complete Vote Smart's 2024 Political Courage Test 309 days silent
  Expected position: Candidates for federal office are expected to provide explicit positions on key issues to help voters make informed decisions. Vote Smart repeatedly requested responses, and most serious candidates complete this standardized nonpartisan survey. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Fitzgerald was actively campaigning during this period — raising $1.3M, issuing press releases on border security, participating in interviews, and engaging on social media. Vote Smart's Political Courage Test page states Fitzgerald 'is currently being tested through the 2024 Political Courage Test' and urges him to respond. Vote Smart was forced to infer many of his positions from his public record because he refused to provide direct answers on issues including budget, spending, taxes, and social safety net programs.

  Fitzgerald's campaign platform centered on 'supporting law enforcement,' yet his first major vote as a congressman was to object to Electoral College certification on January 6, 2021 — taken hours after U.S. Capitol Police officers were violently assaulted while defending the Capitol complex. Approximately 140 officers were injured in the attack that unfolded in connection with the election challenge Fitzgerald supported. Editorial boards called on him to resign, arguing the vote 'gave aid and comfort to an insurrection.' Both sources are from independent news outlets with different hostnames.
