I was raised in abject rural poverty by a single mother, so I know firsthand how important programs like SNAP can be for families who truly need them.

That’s why I commend @SecRollins for cracking down on billions of dollars in fraud and abuse so resources go where they’re intended .

[Rep. Derrick Van Orden @RepVanOrden]

This Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform and the families who have stood beside them.

To all who have served and continue to serve, thank you. God bless our veterans and God bless America.

.@RepVanOrden: “I’m still thrilled that Pete Hegseth will be the Secretary of War because he has given more motivation to young service members than any Secretary of War in my lifetime — and it is shameful what that jackass Massie tried to do.” 🎯

[House Committee on Veterans' Affairs @HouseVetAffairs]

Veterans.
First.

World Series champs! Congratulations to the 2026 champions. 🏆 #WinOurWay

[Milwaukee Brewers @Brewers]

THE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP BELONGS TO MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rep. Derrick Van Orden @RepVanOrden]

Serving our country is a commitment that extends beyond the uniform, and we owe it to our Veterans and their families to support them every step of the way.

I’m proud to work with my friend and fellow Veteran, @RepDonDavis, on the bipartisan Hire Our Heroes Act to help Veterans and military spouses build successful careers after service.

Great to welcome @SecretaryWright to #WI03 and Dairyland Power to highlight the importance of coal in strengthening American energy independence and securing our energy future.

The Trump Administration is investing $19 million to modernize Alliant Energy’s Columbia Energy Center, strengthening coal power and helping ensure Wisconsin has the reliable, affordable energy it needs to keep growing.

[Armed Services GOP @HASCRepublicans]

On National Day of the Deployed, we honor our servicemembers serving far from home and the families awaiting their return. Your sacrifice keeps America safe. We remain committed to ensuring you have the resources and support your mission demands. 🇺🇸

“Van Orden showed the two Trump Cabinet members just how businesses in his backyard are helping to build America’s Arsenal of Freedom…Van Orden, himself a former Navy SEAL, added that ‘our awesome manufacturers are keeping America safe and the world free by working every day.’” @DC_Reporter

I joined 3M, Prairie du Chien High School students, and local educators to celebrate the new Future Makers Lab, giving students hands-on experience in manufacturing, skilled trades, and other careers that will keep Wisconsin moving forward.

We need more opportunities like this to help the next generation build skills, find good-paying jobs, and succeed right here in #WI03

Thanks to 3M and everyone who made this investment in our students possible!

Thank you to the Coalition Against MariBell for bringing Wisconsinites together to stand up for our home.

These are our communities, our farmland, and our neighbors who will live with the consequences of these projects. I’ve taken the fight against the proposed MariBell and BECI 765-kV transmission lines all the way to the Cabinet level, and I’m calling for a moratorium on both.

Wisconsin deserves to have its voice heard.

Great to visit First Supply’s Poehling Distribution Innovation Center in West Salem!

This fifth-generation, family-owned Wisconsin business has been serving customers since 1897 and now employs nearly 800 people across five states.

Proud to see Wisconsin businesses investing in innovation, creating jobs, and keeping our communities strong.

[Rep. Derrick Van Orden @RepVanOrden]

Insurance companies and brokers profited while taxpayers were left footing the bill for nearly 200,000 duplicate enrollments.

That’s BILLIONS in taxpayer dollars wasted.

It is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE that hardworking Wisconsinites are being forced to foot the bill for this kind of waste.

Democrats are crying about “cuts” that crack down on this abuse. Taxpayers deserve accountability.

Back in Cuba City, WI at sixth-generation Tranel Family Farms alongside @epaleezeldin and State Rep. Travis Tranel

We discussed President Trump’s EPA work to reverse DEF deratements, restore Right to Repair, and bring common sense back to environmental regulations so Wisconsin farmers can focus on what they do best.

[Lee Zeldin @epaleezeldin]

I was back in America’s Dairyland today at the sixth generation Tranel Family Farms in Cuba City, Wisconsin, alongside @RepVanOrden. The Trump EPA’s work reversing DEF deratements, restoring the Right to Repair, and applying common sense to environmental regulation were all front and center topics throughout the visit.

[60 Plus Association @60PlusAssoc]

Thank you Representative Derrick Van Orden for standing up for Seniors!

[Rep. Derrick Van Orden @RepVanOrden]

Congratulations to the 14 graduates of Western Technical College’s Law Enforcement Academy!

It was an honor to deliver the keynote address and recognize these men and women as they begin their careers protecting our communities. Wisconsin is in good hands with the next generation of law enforcement officers.

[Rep. Derrick Van Orden @RepVanOrden]

I joined CHS in Evansville on Wednesday to break ground on a new 80-million-bushel soybean processing facility that will create new market opportunities for our farmers and strengthen America’s agricultural supply chain.

[Rep. Derrick Van Orden @RepVanOrden]

Wisconsin is the nation’s #1 cranberry-producing state, and farms like DuBay Cranberry Co. are a big part of that tradition.

I enjoyed touring their 160-acre marsh in Junction City with Dave Hansen, who spent 32 years managing the operation. DuBay produces 4 million pounds of cranberries each year. Thanks to Dave for showing us firsthand how Wisconsin growers get it done!

[DAV (Disabled American Veterans) @DAVHQ]

Tiffany Koehler, Commander of DAV Dept. of Wisconsin, recently attended a discussion with @SecVetAffairs Doug Collins and @RepVanOrden.

The discussion provided veterans from Wisconsin's Third Congressional District an opportunity to raise concerns directly with officials, ask questions and hear updates on efforts to improve veteran care, benefits and services.

Every day DAV is fighting for veteran-focused legislation on the state-level and nationally in D.C. Learn more about DAV’s legislative efforts and how you can get involved at https://t.co/AV8zAoyKv6.

Stopped by the Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling facility in La Crosse to see firsthand how they keep Wisconsin stocked with everyone’s favorite drinks.

With about 55 employees at this facility, their work keeps products moving and shelves stocked across the region. Thanks to the Reyes team for the warm welcome and for showing us what it takes to keep things running every day.
