Van Orden faces Cooke in rematch for battleground Wisconsin House seat

Rep. Derrick Van Orden and Rebecca Cooke are set for a highly anticipated rematch for Wisconsin's 3rd House district, a battleground area that's crucial for both parties. Cooke, who narrowly lost to Van Orden in 2024 by just over 11,000 votes, has shown resilience by defeating another challenger. This race is significant because control of the House hangs in the balance, making this district a critical battleground for political power. The outcome could have far-reaching implications for national policy and party dynamics.
