The following day, on May 18, he acknowledged National EMS Week by attending an event organized by the Oakfield Fire Department. He tweeted about his appreciation for their efforts: "What better way to kick off National EMS Week than by supporting the Oakfield Fire Department and enjoying great food, great company, and a fun cash raffle. Huge thanks to the Department for all that you do - it was an honor to be there!"

On May 19, Rep. Grothman shared his enthusiasm for meeting representatives from Burger Boat in Washington. He noted their historical significance and current contributions: "It was great to see the friendly faces of @burgerboat in Washington! Since 1863, Burger Boat has been building state-of-the-art marine vessels in Manitowoc. With shipbuilding on the rise under President Trump, I’m excited for #WI06 to help lead the way."
