This year, we have an opportunity to win a seat in Wisconsin’s farm country that could be decided by just a few thousand votes.
We’ve endorsed Rebecca Cooke in Wisconsin’s third district to run against extremist Congressman Derrick Van Orden (more about his antics later!). Rebecca was born and raised on a dairy farm and is a real leader fighting for rural folks just like her family.
Now about that guy Derrick Van Orden, who Rebecca is running against. His belligerent behavior keeps making headlines - and not for any good reasons.
Congressman Van Orden gained notoriety for cursing out teenage Senate staffers while leading constituents on a Capitol Hill tour, put his name behind national abortion bans and gummed up the works so much in Congress that nothing has been getting done.
Blue Dogs are normal people in Congress who want to get sh*t done. We believe in freedom and we’re fighting to protect yours. We’re pro-America, pro-democracy, and working to pass fiscally responsible policies that benefit everyday, hard-working Americans.
