PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, Wisc. – On Wednesday morning, Congressman Derrick Van Orden released the following statement after winning the race for Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District to serve his second term in the House of Representatives. 

“I’m truly thankful and humbled the people of Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District decided to send me back to Congress so I can continue my bipartisan work for western Wisconsin.”

“I am ready to roll up my sleeves and continue our work to ensure we are putting an end to the southern border crisis so the scourge of the fentanyl crisis no longer affects our communities or criminals aren’t allowed to wreak havoc on our families. I will also tackle rising costs and ensure life is more affordable for everyday families. Together, we will work to make western Wisconsin a better place for our children and grandchildren.”
