EAU CLAIRE, Wisc. – Today, Rebecca Cooke earns the endorsement from EMILYs List, the nation’s leading organization dedicated to electing Democratic pro-choice women to office. EMILYs List’s backing marks a significant milestone for the campaign after a strong overperformance in 2024, showcasing Cooke’s strength and appeal in Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District.
“I am honored to have the support of EMILYs List in this race,” said Cooke. “Western Wisconsin cannot afford two more years of extremist Derrick Van Orden who spends his time hiding from his constituents and causing chaos in Washington. In Congress, I will be a fierce advocate for our working-class families and rural communities and will stand up to billionaires and out-of-touch elites who are blocking opportunities for everyday people.”
“EMILY’s List is proud to endorse Rebecca Cooke in our fight to take back the U.S. House. As a small business owner, waitress, and community leader, she knows the importance of bringing working-class voices to Congress to fight for everyday people—not billionaires. Meanwhile, her opponent, Derrick Van Orden, is running scared, refusing to face the people of Western Wisconsin, while pushing an agenda that benefits the wealthy at the expense of hardworking families. Cooke is the strongest candidate to win this critical race, and we are proud to stand with her,“ said EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler.
