The GOP’s road to a House majority goes through Wisconsin. Derrick Van Orden, who came close to flipping WI-03 in 2020, announced this morning he’s running for the House again. He’s *terrible.* Watch this video. Then chip in to help beat Van Orden: wisdems.org/defeat-DVO
Let’s talk about the math. The GOP only needs to flip five house seats from blue to red in 2022 to win a majority and stall critical planks of Biden’s urgent legislative agenda. There are only seven House seats that went for Trump and a Dem. WI-03 is one of them.
So the GOP just has to win five of the seven Trump/Dem House seats to put insurrectionists in charge… which is why they’re gunning so hard for Wisconsin’s third Congressional District, where @KindforCongress ran 6pts ahead of Trump.
Speaking of insurrectionists, Derrick Van Orden traveled to D.C. for Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally. He spent the morning happily posting selfies. When the mob marched on the Capitol, he wandered off & distanced himself from the very mob he’d just rallied with.
This ad, laying out Van Orden’s dangerous extremism, is a critical way to help voters understand just how bad he is. We tested it—and folks who saw it became 10 points more likely to oppose Van Orden. Help us get it in front of more voters: wisdems.org/defeat-DVO
The future of the House, Senate, and White House all run through Wisconsin in 2022. Beating Van Orden helps hold the House. Beating Ron Johnson helps hold the Senate. And reelecting Governor Evers protects voting rights & paves the road to ‘24.
We’re going to be organizing year-round in Western Wisconsin, reaching out to voters in rural areas and cities and suburbs alike, communicating on screens, radio, and online—pulling out all the stops. This fight matters. Don’t sleep on it.
