The latest ad from GOP U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden says there’s “not a chance” his Dem challenger Rebecca Cooke gets elected.
The 30-second spot, running in the La Crosse and Eau Claire media markets, opens with one man at a diner asking another if he saw Cooke’s ad during the game last night.
A waitress approaches the pair and says, “You couldn’t pay me to run three times.”
“That’s the funny thing; she is getting paid to run. Look, liberal billionaires are paying her to run against Van Orden,” a man says.

He then shows a smartphone with a news headline that says Cooke is “on the payroll of two left-leaning organizations with ties to billionaire George Soros.”
“All they do is recruit socialists and defund the police candidates,” the waitress says. One of the men then says, “Rebecca Cooke is perfect.”
“Rebecca Cooke for Congress?” the waitress asks.
“Not a chance,” the men reply in unison. The camera then pans to Van Orden, who says, “nope.”
