GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) â Congressman Mike Gallagher is proposing a very Wisconsin-esque plan to encourage people to get vaccinated.
âWeâve gone from having a supply problem having a demand problem, where we have enough supply but we donât have enough people wanting the vaccine. The question is: how do you incentivize people to get vaccinated?â Gallagher said. âOne option would just be to get prominent people like Aaron Rodgers and Giannis to promote vaccinations, but the other is the simple Wisconsin incentive.â
That incentive? Free beer for getting the shots.
The basic idea would provide coupons for free beer at a local restaurant or brewery as people receive their vaccinations.

Today, I’m joined by Congressman Mike Gallagher, who represents the 8th District in Wisconsin.
In this episode, we delve into critical infrastructure security from the perspective of national security.
Congressman Mike Gallagher:
I mean, in the past, we sort of had the advantage of basic geography, and 1000s of miles of oceans, and friendly neighbors to protect us. But in the cyber domain, those geographic distances are essentially meaningless…..we’ve seen have been kind of a huge wake up call for me and a few other legislators who tend to focus on these issues.
Bryson Bort:
We talk through Rep. Gallagher’s background in military service, public and private sector, which gives him a unique perspective on lawmaking for cybersecurity.
