Gas prices are nearly $4 per gallon and Van Orden continues to fund Trump’s reckless war of choice
Today marks six months since Donald Trump dragged the country into a war against Iran that has no end in sight, and is forcing Wisconsin families to pay record August gas prices at the pump.
GET THE FACTS:
- Derrick Van Orden has voted every single time to allow the war and to send tens of billions of dollars overseas.
- Now, the average Wisconsin family pays $480+ more for gas while increased fertilizer costs hurt our farmers.
- When a constituent questioned Van Orden’s support for the war, he yelled, “I don’t give a s**t if you vote for me or not, you are wrong” and defended his support for the war spiking prices.
- Van Orden does not care how many of Wisconsinites’ tax dollars are spent on this forever war and has trashed concerns about the war spiking prices.
- Van Orden promised lower costs on day one and no more new wars. Yet he voted to support funding for Trump’s yet-to-end war in the Middle East that has caused gas prices to spike.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Derrick Van Orden voted every single time to continue the Iran War and send tens of billions of dollars overseas while jacking up prices at the gas pump, screaming at a constituent when they dared question his support for the war increasing their cost of living. Wisconsinites literally can’t afford Van Orden and they’ll fire him this November.”
