On May 5, 2025, Rep. Wied mourned the passing of a notable community figure in Green Bay. He wrote, "This past weekend, Green Bay lost a local legend in Tom Hinz. From his time as a Green Bay Police Officer to serving as Brown County Sheriff and Brown County Executive, Tom's dedication to our community is an inspiration to us all." Rep. Wied expressed that this was "a great loss for our community."

In another post on the same day, Rep. Wied emphasized the importance of supporting small businesses during Small Business Week.

Later that day, Rep. Wied voiced criticism towards mainstream media platforms regarding their coverage choices. He remarked, "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the exact problem with the mainstream media." He expressed concern over what he perceives as irresponsible platforming by these outlets which contribute to societal issues.
