Sensenbrenner | S000244 | sensenbrenner.house.gov | legacy | No one is talking about the urgency of this issue, though, because of the impeachment circus, he said at the time, though since then many of those issues appear to have been resolved. Nearly one year removed from replacing former House Speaker Paul Ryan in Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District, Steil joined the three other Republican House members to vote against the House resolution that set the ground rules for the investigation. Today's resolution does not provide the president with due process protections that were afforded to both President Clinton and President Nixon, Steil wrote in a tweet immediately before the House voted on the resolution. Later that day, the House passed the resolution 232-196, with all Republicans and two Democrats opposed. Earlier in October, Steil put out an online survey asking constituents if they supported articles of impeachment against Trump. He did not release the results. Steil, a lawyer who spent more than a decade working in the manufacturing sector in southeastern Wisconsin, was one of almost 90 new members sworn into the House in January. There are no political parties on the shop floor, Steil said in an email. You work with your co-workers to complete a job on time, within budget, and to achieve the goal at hand. It is frustrating to see House Democrats' inaction on the real issues facing our communities. Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Glenbeulah, offered similar criticism of impeachment in an interview. The hearings took away from issues like welfare proposals, the president's new trade agreement and immigration that is still at crisis level, Grothman said. People who are focusing on the impeachment are trying to take our eye off of those more important issues, Grothman said. I'm looking to get back on the border in January or February when this is over to further equate myself with that situation. Pocan disputed their characterization. Despite juggling meetings and following the proceedings, he said it has been an especially productive time for the House. So far, the House has passed more than 400 bills, according toGovTrack.us, on pace to pass the 758 bills passed between January 2017 and January 2019. We can walk and chew gum, Pocan said. Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Green Bay, challenged the grounds for impeachment in a recent TV interview. He noted that Wisconsin polls have showed the majority of Wisconsin voters oppose impeachment. I think it's not going anywhere, it's losing support in Wisconsin, Gallagher said. Among common-sense Wisconsinites, I think most people want us to just do our jobs and stop the endless partisan political warfare. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
