01 · Background

Who they are, where they came from

Bryan Steil represents Wisconsin's 1st congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, a seat he has held since January 2019. He was born on March 30, 1981, and is from Janesville, Wisconsin, where he worked as an attorney and businessman before entering elected office. Prior to his congressional service, he served on the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents. Since 2023, Steil has chaired the House Administration Committee, which has jurisdiction over federal election administration, the day-to-day operations of the House, and related oversight matters. In that role, he sponsored H.R.9487, the House Office of Legislative Counsel Modernization Act, which was enacted into law. He has also sponsored H.R.7300, the Make Elections Great Again Act, addressing federal election procedures, and H.R.5074, the Protecting Young Minds Online Act, which concerns minors' access to online content. Additional sponsored legislation includes H.R.2468, the No Sanctions Relief for Terrorists Act; H.R.4735, the Business of Insurance Regulatory Reform Act of 2025; H.R.2228, the Survivor Benefits Fairness Act; and H.R.3999, the American Flags to Honor Our Veterans Act of 2025. On the House floor, he voted against final passage of H.R.82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, and against H.R.2872, a continuing appropriations measure, both of which ultimately became law. He has also introduced amendments agreed to without objection in both the 118th and 119th Congresses (HAMDT.110, HAMDT.9).
