Wisconsin Democrats Congratulate Rebecca Cooke

MADISON, Wis. — Following Rebecca Cooke’s victory in the 3rd Congressional District Democratic primary, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler issued the following statement:

“The Democratic Party of Wisconsin is excited to unite behind Rebecca Cooke tonight, and for the next three months we’re going to do everything in our power to elect Rebecca and make Derrick Van Orden a one-term congressman. Derrick Van Orden is an embarrassment to Western Wisconsin, and it’s time for his time in Washington to come to an end. For nearly two years, Van Orden has been a one-man clown show, making headlines for petty temper tantrums while his actual responsibilities—like funding the government or passing the Farm Bill—have fallen by the wayside. It’s time for a pro-choice Congresswoman who grew up on a dairy farm and fights for working people to replace an anti-freedom disgrace.”
