Lancaster, WI (December 1, 2025) – Today, Congressman Derrick Van Orden (WI-03) formally endorsed David Varnam for Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin.
“From skyrocketing costs to failing to protect our children in classrooms, the legacy Sara Rodriguez leaves behind is damning. David Varnam has spent his life doing what’s best for families in Grant County by standing against new and increased taxes, supporting local law enforcement, and putting parents and kids first. I am proud to endorse his campaign to bring western Wisconsin values to Madison, and I know David will be a great Lieutenant Governor for our state,” said Congressman Derrick Van Orden.
Congressman Derrick Van Orden is a retired Navy SEAL who serves Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District.
“I am honored to have Congressman Derrick Van Orden’s endorsement,” Varnam responded. “He is a true American patriot who served our country as a Navy SEAL and now as Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District Representative. With the support of Congressman Van Orden and others across the state, I hope, as lieutenant governor, to help set Wisconsin on the right path.”
