Derrick Van Orden is celebrating kids going hungry and people losing health coverage. Big mask off moment.

I’m Rebecca Cooke, the Democrat running to defeat Derrick Van Orden. He berated Senate pages in the same Capitol he and his allies tried to overturn on January 6, 2021. WI-03 is up for grabs — follow, repost, and let's flip this seat blue.

I'm not just running against Derrick Van Orden — I’m running for Congress to fight for Wisconsin’s communities, put people first, and protect our way of life. This is about service, decency, and getting things done.

Let’s go, Wisconsin!

I grew up in a working-class family. I’m running for Congress by day and waiting tables by night. I know what working families need because I’ve lived it — and I’ll fight for policies that work for us, not the wealthy and well-connected.

Derrick Van Orden voted to cut your Medicaid and SNAP. He wants Wisconsinsities to lose their health insurance. Our communities deserve so much better.

Derrick Van Orden attended the January 6 Stop the Steal rally and refuses to hold town halls. I believe in showing up, answering questions, and respecting democracy.

That’s the Wisconsin way, and next November, we will bring real leadership back to our district.

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community.

Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us.

Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

I didn't take a penny from George Soros. But, Derrick Van Orden took a lot of money from Elon Musk.

I grew up working class -- and I'm still working class. I wait tables by day and run for Congress by night.

Wisconsin’s 3rd is a must-win battleground if Democrats are going to flip the House.

Watching Elon Musk and Donald Trump go through a breakup is great, but you know what would be even better?

Firing far right Republicans and blocking the oligarch agenda.

Let's flip Wisconsin's 3rd and get it done.

Defending our democracy is urgent.

I'm running against Derrick Van Orden, an extremist who tried to undermine our elections.

We must protect voting rights and make it easier for everyday Americans to be heard. Our future depends on it. #WI03

I am running for Congress to fight for working class Wisconsinites and to restore decency in D.C.

Unlike Derrick Van Orden, when I'm in Congress, I will never vote to cut your Medicaid or SNAP benefts. The best way to stop him is to vote him out.

Congress is full of out of touch elites like Derrick Van Orden who work to put big corporations ahead of family farms in our district. We came within a few points of winning in 2024. This cycle, we will finish the job.

Megan’s story is too common in America.

Women should not have to worry whether they have access to reproductive care.

I’m ready to fight for Megan and all women across America to protect their fundamental rights.

I refuse to believe that Wisconsinites should die early because our leaders in D.C. refuse to fund the programs they rely on to live

Derrick Van Orden voted to cut Medicaid and SNAP benefits for Wisconsinites, and did not blink an eye when doing so.

He wants to run away from his votes.

We won't let him. Let's hold him accountable, together. secure.actblue.com/donate/cooke...

In Congress, I’ll fight to protect Social Security and expand Medicare to finally cover vision, dental, and hearing. I’ll promote smart trade with our allies—not reckless policies that squeeze our farmers and manufacturers.

Together, we will fire Derrick Van Orden.

Unions are the backbone of our democracy. We must pass the PRO Act and Davis-Bacon to secure better pay and benefits for working Americans. There’s too much at stake to wait.

Wisconsin will be the battleground in 2026.

We outran the top of the ticket in 2024, nearly flipping Wisconsin’s 3rd. Since then, our people have been harmed by Van Orden’s policies in D.C.

This year, we will finish the job once and for all.

I’m Rebecca Cooke — a pro-choice, pro-democracy candidate ready to take on Derrick Van Orden and flip Wisconsin’s 3rd blue.

Wisconsin's 3rd is a major battleground seat that Democrats have to win to take back the House.

I can’t win this race alone.
