Rep. Bryan Steil is pushing to stop future federal government shutdowns by taking a cue from Wisconsin's government.
The 1st Congressional District's newly minted representative noted that if Wisconsin's Legislature can't pass a budget, the previous funding levels stay in place until a budget is passed.
But when Congress can't pass a budget, the government can be shut down.
A budget impasse led to a shutdown of portions of the government for 35 days in December and January, the longest U.S. government shutdown in history.
RACINE — U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., was not surprised when he heard on Friday that President Donald Trump vetoed the bill that would terminate his declaration of a national emergency on the southern border.

TREVOR — Although you likely won't see any rockets going up to space anytime soon in the Trevor, a small business there is still making their mark in space.

"Pretty much anything that's going up, we got our name on it," said Andrew Lovely, an aerospace sales manager at Amorim.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Bryan Steil helped introduce the WAGE Equity Act along with Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY-21). The WAGE Equity Act gives employees flexibility while negotiating salary, time-off, and other work arrangements.

This empowers women in the workforce. Rather than punishing job creators, our proposal allows workers to negotiate better compensation."
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Bryan Steil released a statement following his vote against overriding the president's veto of a bill terminating the national emergency at our southern border.

Our fellow will play a critical role and focus on ensuring our service members, veterans, and their families have access to the federal resources and care they have earned," said Steil.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Bryan Steil voiced his support for the inclusion of American agricultural products in trade negotiations with the European Union. The bipartisan letter was sent to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.
"Wisconsin is home to the best agricultural products in the world. I will always fight to expand trade opportunities for our exports. Failure to include these goods in a trade agreement with the EU will have a direct and harmful impact on Wisconsin farmers and ranchers," said Steil.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Bryan Steil released a statement following his support of a bipartisan resolution calling for Special Counsel Mueller's findings to be made public when completed.
