LA CROSSE — Congressman Derrick Van Orden released the following statement following of Rebecca Cooke joining David Crowley for the Unity Tour today:

“The Democratic establishment has anointed Rebecca Cooke and David Crowley, and now they’re joining forces to carry water for the socialist left. They both want to defund the police, undermine the Second Amendment, and support gender-transition procedures for minors. Wisconsin voters shouldn’t be fooled by the moderate costumes. These two are cut from the same cloth, and they’ll vote the same way when the socialist left comes calling.”
