DALLAS, TX — Congressman Derrick Van Orden has been announced as a featured speaker at the 2026 Republican Convention in Dallas, Texas.
Van Orden, a retired Navy SEAL and the longest-serving enlisted veterans ever elected to Congress, will use the national stage to share the story of Wisconsin families, workers, farmers, veterans, and small businesses—and the fight to make sure the American Dream remains within reach for the next generation.
“Republicans have a great story to tell, the story of America, and it is time we started telling it,” said Congressman Derrick Van Orden. “We should be proud of what we have accomplished and confident about where we are going. As Republicans, we have an opportunity to remind Americans why this country is so great and why the best chapters of the American story are still ahead of us.”
Van Orden will speak during the Republican Convention in Dallas, which brings together Republican elected officials, activists, candidates, and leaders from across the country ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
