Over the weekend, Eau Claire County GOP Chair Fred Kappus admitted “the race for Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District will be challenging.”

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Take it from Republican political operatives: Derrick Van Orden is in trouble thanks to his record backing the war raising gas and grocery prices on West Central Wisconsin, and Trump voters are calling out his pile of broken promises.”
