Anthony Christian Wied (born May 3, 1976), is an American politician from the Republican Party who is serving as the U.S. representative for Wisconsin's 8th congressional district since November 2024. He was elected in a special election to succeed Mike Gallagher.
Early life and career
Wied was raised in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin. He attended Notre Dame Academy (Green Bay, Wisconsin), graduating in 1994. He then attended St. Norbert College, where he played college football and graduated in 1998. Wied owned a chain of gas and convenience stores called Dino Stop, which he sold in 2022.
After Mike Gallagher announced his resignation from the United States House of Representatives, serving for Wisconsin's 8th congressional district, in 2024, Wied announced his candidacy in the special election to succeed him.
