Since March 2024, Van Orden failed to show up for at least 10 of 22 separate Agriculture Committee and subcommittee hearings... Congressional records show that, in several instances, Van Orden was in D.C. — he just didn’t attend them

From Bill Kaplan: GOP bigwigs can’t save Van Orden
"Trump and other GOP bigwigs can’t save Van Orden... Voters, including rural Wisconsinites, are moving away from Trump and the GOP."
@derrickvanorden Hello, this is William Garcia, chair of the 3rd CD Dems of Wisconsin. I would like to speak to your team about planning for election debates in Wisconsin's 3rd CD? Is there a member of your campaign staff you could send my way? Thank you.
"It saddens me how low our politics has gotten, when a sitting Republican member of Congress feels the need to engage in juvenile, disrespectful campaign stunts intended to harass and intimidate voters."

"Cooke plans to protect agriculture and WI farmers by addressing breakdowns in the supply chain, creating tax incentives for small-midsize farms, enforcing antitrust laws, incentivize the formation of rural cooperatives, and restructuring the Farm Bill"

"Van Orden can’t control himself emotionally and is guilty of outbursts at young people in Wisconsin and at the Capitol. .. he “cursed out (teenage) Senate pages” (Washington Post). Was he drunk? Why has he never apologized for his misbehavior?"
