Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Byron Donalds is the product of a single-parent household. Throughout his life, his mother made every sacrifice possible to give him the best opportunity to live the American Dream. That philosophy his mother taught him, striving to leave future generations better than the current, is what leads him in his work, his homelife, and as a Member of Congress.

Byron attended Florida State University and graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in finance and marketing. Byron’s career path has included working in the finance, insurance, and banking industries in Southwest Florida.

While serving in the Florida House of Representatives, Byron made his mark as a champion for school choice and protecting parental rights in education. Donalds led the effort to enact Hope Scholarships that empowered parents with school choice and passed a first-in-the-nation bill to that allowed parents and community members to review instructional materials in schools. Donalds chaired the prominent House Insurance and Banking Subcommittee, working to improve Florida’s business and insurance policies. Governor Rick Scott also appointed Byron to the Board of Trustees for Florida South Western State College.

Since 2020, Donalds has served the people of Florida’s 19th Congressional District. Congressman Donalds quickly distinguished himself as a conservative warrior on Capitol Hill. In the 119th Congress, Donalds sits on the Oversight and Accountability and Financial Services Committees. As a rising star in the Republican Party, he has stood in the trenches against the rise of woke culture in schools, corporate America, the financial services industry, and our military. Byron is also a staunch advocate for the Second Amendment, School Choice, Fiscal Sanity, Secure Borders, Law and Order, and a Limited Federal Government. He has consistently received the highest ratings possible from conservative groups for his reliable voting record.

Donalds served as a top surrogate for the 2024 Donald Trump for President Campaign and fought to hold the corrupt Biden Administration accountable.

First elected in 2018, Congressman Bryan Steil represents Wisconsin's First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Bryan has earned a reputation for working hard for Wisconsin during his first three terms in Congress. Being available and accessible to residents and listening to their concerns has been a top priority. To hear directly from residents, Bryan regularly holds in-person town halls across the First District as well as numerous telephone town halls. He utilizes his office to help local families. In 2022 alone, he helped more than 2,000 constituents receive assistance with federal agencies such as the Social Security Administration, VA, and Medicare. In addition, Bryan has held numerous public forums for our community regarding illicit fentanyl, children's mental health, robocalls and scams prevention, and the impact of trade deals on Wisconsin dairy and agriculture.

In 2023, Bryan was appointed Chairman of the Committee on House Administration. This committee oversees Federal election law, House of Representatives operations, Legislative Branch oversight, and Capitol Security. Bryan is focused on ensuring the House is open, secure, and accountable to the American people, and on strengthening Americans trust in our elections. Bryan previously served as Ranking Member on the Elections Subcommittee.

In the 117^th Congress, Bryan served as the Ranking Member of the Select Committee on the Economy. This committee evaluated the root causes of economic hardship in our country, and Bryan worked to address these issues and create opportunity and prosperity for all Americans.

Bryan is a problem solver with extensive private sector experience who puts politics aside and focuses on issues impacting Wisconsin. Previously, Bryan served as the co-chair of the Middle Class Jobs Caucus, where he worked to fill the skills gap, improve access to education, and ensure families have the opportunity to succeed. Bryan also served as the co-chair of the Future of Work Caucus to ensure workers have the skills and education to fill tomorrow's jobs. In this role, Bryan brings together industry leaders from our community to meet with caucus members in Washington, D.C. and work on real world solutions to the problems facing America.

As a member of the House Financial Services Committee, Bryan is focused on making the American dream achievable for everyone. He is working to bring family sustaining jobs to our communities by increasing investments in Southeast Wisconsin. For example, he authored the Expanding Investment in Small Businesses Act of 2019, which passed the House in July of 2019 by a vote of 417-2. This bill helps entrepreneurs obtain capital, hire workers, and create jobs right here in Wisconsin. Steil also founded the Investing in Innovation Initiative, a caucus to promote opportunities that support investment in small businesses and opportunities for wealth creation. 

Bryan is focused on keeping our communities safe. He has built a coalition of 50 Members of Congress, Republicans and Democrats, and local law enforcement in Southeast Wisconsin to shine a light on the problem of human trafficking. Bryan's bill, the Exposing the Financing of Human Trafficking Act, holds countries accountable and gets them to investigate, prevent, and prosecute financial criminal acts associated with human trafficking. In addition, Bryan is leading an effort to ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon and enforce U.S. sanctions on European countries that trade with Iran.

Prior to being elected to Congress, Bryan spent a decade working in Wisconsin's manufacturing industry - first with an industrial motion control manufacturer in Beloit, WI and later at a local plastics manufacturer in Milton, WI. In the private sector, he saw firsthand how burdensome federal regulations and red tape can hinder economic growth and job creation in Wisconsin. He also learned the importance of fighting for common sense solutions.

In 2016, Bryan was appointed by the Governor of Wisconsin and unanimously confirmed in the Wisconsin Senate to serve on the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents. As a Regent, he helped oversee the 26 UW system campuses, their 170,000 students, and a six-billion-dollar budget. He was known as a fiscal hawk dedicated to working for students and families. For example, Bryan supported initiatives that froze tuition to ensure all students had the opportunity to obtain an affordable high-quality education.

Born and raised in Janesville, Bryan graduated from Janesville Craig High School, Georgetown University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School. He is a member of St. John Vianney Parish in Janesville.
