The Dem group Opportunity Wisconsin and the League of Conservation Voters have teamed up for a new TV ad that knocks GOP U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden for rising energy costs.
The groups are spending $350,000 on the buy.
The narrator opens the ad saying utility bills “are through the roof” while gas prices are on the rise and Van Orden, R-Prairie du Chien, “is making it worse.”
The narrator says Van Orden voted to “slash clean energy production” as electricity costs could go up $300 a year in Wisconsin while also voting to support the Iran war, which is causing gas prices to skyrocket.
