MADISON, Wis. — This week, WXOW reported that gas prices have skyrocketed in Derrick Van Orden’s district. In just one week after the Trump administration launched a senseless attack in Iran – and mere days after Derrick Van Orden voted in support of the administration’s illegal war – Wisconsinites in the third congressional district are already feeling the economic impacts at home. Residents in La Crosse woke up to a 14 cent increase in the cost of gas overnight. Wisconsinites barely struggling to pay for groceries, housing, and healthcare in the face of the affordability crisis created by Republican economic policies are desperate for relief, and Derrick Van Orden continues to turn his back to them.
