Derrick Van Orden who is the endorsed candidate for Congress spoke to the caucus. His comments included the following quote:

" Republicans know that Western Wisconsin will determine the outcome of the most important elections in the country. We have an outstanding slate of local, state and federal candidates who are leading the way to take back our communities, culture and country.

Families are having trouble filling up their gas tanks and buying groceries on the same day. This is directly due to Biden and Pelosi's reckless spending.

Republicans are motivated, organized and fired up to Fire Pelosi and bring prosperity back to main street Wisconsin."
