Representative Tony Wied, who serves Northeast Wisconsin in Congress, posted several statements on July 24, 2025, addressing political and local topics. His remarks included criticism of Democratic tax policy, a tribute to a retiring Green Bay Packers executive, and comments on the state's gubernatorial leadership.
In a post published at 14:55 UTC, Rep. Wied asserted: "Americans do deserve better, that's why your party was soundly rejected in November. Every single Democrat voted for the largest tax increase on the middle class in American history. No amount of lies will change that fact."
Later that day at 15:42 UTC, he offered thanks to a prominent sports figure from his district: "As the Representative from Northeast Wisconsin and as a lifelong Packers fan, I want to thank Mark Murphy for his many years of dedicated leadership of the Green Bay Packers and wish him the best in his retirement from this role."
In another statement posted at 18:01 UTC, Rep. Wied commented on state politics: "I'm thankful for the Governor's service to our state. However, as we look forward, we need a new governor who will stand up to the far-left, work with our federal government to remove illegal aliens from our state, and put Wisconsinites first."
Rep. Wied’s comments come amid ongoing debates over fiscal policy and immigration enforcement in Wisconsin and across the nation. The reference to Mark Murphy acknowledges Murphy's tenure as president and CEO of the Green Bay Packers since 2007—a period during which he oversaw significant organizational changes.
The remarks about Democratic tax policy reflect partisan divisions following recent legislative sessions where tax reform has been highly contested along party lines.
