Rep. Tony Wied, who represents Wisconsin’s 8th congressional district, posted a series of updates on his Twitter account on July 30, 2025, covering local events and responding to recent political tensions.
In a post made at 01:25 UTC, Wied shared his participation in a community event, stating: “Awesome time rooting on the @TimberRattlers with my team. #WI08”.
Later that day at 19:50 UTC, Wied highlighted his visit to a local manufacturing business: “Enjoyed touring Marine Travelift in Sturgeon Bay and getting a firsthand look at the innovative work they’re doing to supply industrial lifts around the world. Another great example of the outstanding manufacturing businesses we’re proud to have in #WI08.”
On the evening of July 30 at 23:17 UTC, Wied addressed an incident involving political threats: “It’s reprehensible that a leader of the Democrat Party of Brown County would threaten my family, my staff, or myself. They must be held accountable. A statement from their Chairwoman, without action, is not accountability.”
Wied assumed office after winning the general election against Kristin Lyerly in 2024 with 57.3% of the vote compared to Lyerly’s 42.6%. This victory established him as the representative for Wisconsin’s 8th district.
