Here’s a list of just some of the awful things House Republicans voted for. Let’s hold Republican Bryan Steil accountable!
Empty stomachs for millions of kids and seniors thanks to the largest cuts to food assistance (e.g. SNAP) in US history
Higher home electric bills driven by huge cuts to clean energy investments that fund most new power sources
Runaway college costs and bigger student loans caused by billions of dollars being cut from loan, loan forgiveness, and Pell Grant programs
More challenges to holding Trump accountable after Republicans slipped in a one-sentence provision that would make it extremely difficult for courts to hold Trump administration officials in contempt for violating court orders
10,000 new ICE agents at a time the agency is arresting political opponents, defying court orders, and deporting US citizens
New attacks on the trans community as Republicans inserted a last-minute change banning Medicaid from covering gender affirming care
Tax breaks for people buying gun silencers (“Who asked for this? The assassin lobby?” asked one Democratic lawmaker)
Millions of patients denied cancer screenings and reproductive care due to the defunding of Planned Parenthood and banning of abortion coverage under ACA insurance plans

We showed up! We spoke up!
April 24th Town Hall Rep Steil was a no show.
April 30 Delivering the messages to Rep. Steil’s Office!
My phone call to Rep. Steil.
More than 150 of Representative Bryan Steil’s constituents showed up to their 1st Congressional District Town Hall, and Congressman Steil did not.
"Obviously a man who doesn't have the courage to come to this meeting and listen to his constituents, doesn't have the kind of courage it takes to stand up to Donald Trump and the people behind him," Jean from Oak Creek.
The messages were clear:
Stand up against the Trump regime’s agenda. Grow a spine. Grow a backbone.Stand up for Due Process one of us can be disappeared, all of us can.Stop the cuts by DOGE.
Since Steil decided not to be present at his own district’s Town Hall, citizens spoke directly to the camera for him to listen, watch, and stand up for the people he represents. The event was held at the Franklin Public Library on April 24, 2025.
Hands off!
