EAU CLAIRE, Wisc. — Today, Rebecca Cooke, candidate for Congress in Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District, released her campaign’s FEC report raising $3.65 million in the second quarter of 2026. This is the highest quarterly raise for a challenger House candidate in Wisconsin history. Her campaign has now raised just shy of $12 million this election cycle.
“I’m deeply grateful for the support we’ve received from every corner of West Central Wisconsin,” Rebecca Cooke said. “This is a people-powered campaign, backed not by Corporate PACs but grassroots donors who want leaders who will lower costs, improve health care, and fight for an end to forever wars. This outpouring of support will keep us competitive on the airwaves, despite the onslaught of attack ads funded by right-wing special interests, including from tech bros like Elon Musk.”
Rebecca is endorsed by U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin, Pete Buttigieg, 16 Members of Congress, State Senator Brad Pfaff, 24 labor organizations including the WI AFL-CIO, Iron Workers Locals 383 and 512, the Communications Workers of America (CWA), Wisconsin State Council of Machinists, AFSCME, International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Councils 7 & 82, Office and Professional Employees International Union, Sheet Metal, Air, Rail, and Transportation (SMART) Union, UFCW Local 1473, Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council, IBEW State Conference, NRDC Action Fund, League of Conservation Voters, American Association for Justice (AAJ), Defend the Vote PAC, End Citizens United, the Blue Dog Coalition, the New Dem Action Fund, Elect Democratic Women, EMILY’s List, and the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare PAC. She’s garnered the support of a broad coalition of farmers, small business owners, educators and healthcare workers across western Wisconsin.
