Great catching up with the Veterans Guardian team today. I always appreciate the opportunity to hear directly from folks working to support our veterans and military families.

Veterans Guardian helps navigate the VA disability process and better understand the benefits they’ve earned through their service.

Did you know that 1/14 Wisconsin jobs are in trucking?

That’s 1 in 14 Wisconsin workers helping move the food on our tables, the fuel in our tanks, and the products we depend on every day!

This National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, I’m saying thank you to the men and women behind the wheel who keep our communities and our country moving.

Great to meet with advocates for the Latonya Reeves Freedom Act.

This bipartisan legislation will strengthen the right of Americans with disabilities to receive long-term services and support (LTSS) in the setting of their choice.

Wisconsin families deserve clean water and reliable infrastructure

That’s why I’ve worked to secure $12.9 million through Community Project Funding for water quality, PFAS remediation, sewer infrastructure, and other critical water projects here in the Third district

I know what these investments mean for all of us who call home

Proud to have the National Police Association's endorsement of my K-9 Hero Act.

My bill would establish a grant program to help cover veterinary expenses for retired federal dogs, including military dogs and law enforcement K-9s.

We at Project K-9 Hero want to personally thank U.S. Congressman, Derrick Van Orden, for believing in the K-9 Hero Act of 2026, and introducing it under H.R. 9664. Last week, K-9 Callie and myself were able to meet in his office in Washington D.C. to discuss a pathway to getting this important legislation passed.

I have heard directly from landowners, farmers, and communities who would be impacted by the proposed BECI 765-kV Transmission Line, and their concerns are clear.

I am urging Midcontinent Grid Solutions to listen to my constituents and review alternative routes, cost options, and construction methods that utilize existing utility, highway, and railroad corridors before impacting our land in the Driftless Area.
