Headline Summary

A bipartisan House resolution honoring the victims of the 2021 Waukesha Christmas parade attack and recognizing the community’s response; it makes no new law and is currently in committee after introduction on November 21, 2025.

What It Does

The resolution formally commemorates the November 21, 2021 attack at the Waukesha, Wisconsin, Christmas parade. It honors the six people who died, notes the 62 others injured, offers condolences to families, praises first responders and health workers, and recognizes the community’s resilience and memorial efforts. It does not change policy, create programs, or spend money; it is an expression of the House’s sentiments.

Who’s For It

• Sponsors include Wisconsin House members from both parties: Reps. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Tiffany, Tony Wied, Bryan Steil, Derrick Van Orden, Glenn Grothman (Republicans) and Reps. Gwen Moore and Mark Pocan (Democrats).
• Supporters frame it as a respectful tribute to victims and a recognition of the “Waukesha Strong” community response.
• Such commemorative resolutions typically draw broad bipartisan support because they do not alter policy or spending.

Who’s Against It

• No organized opposition is noted at this stage.
• Occasionally, some members question the use of floor time for commemorative measures, but objections are uncommon for community memorial resolutions.

What’s Next

Status: Introduced on November 21, 2025, and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform the same day. Next, committee or House leaders could schedule it for consideration; if adopted, it would conclude in the House and not proceed to the Senate or the President.
