Keeping the Valley affordable is a top priority of the Eau Claire Dems. As Trump’s tariffs cause prices to skyrocket, we’re fighting to support our local businesses and farmers—are you with us?

DVO would rather take a punch than have a public town hall.
Interesting🤔

Nobody in the Valley deserves to be targeted and marginalized—and we’re fighting to make that happen. The Eau Claire Dems are welcoming of ALL people, and we hope Rep. Derrick Van Orden learns a thing or two from us!

Immigrants are our strength, our neighbors, and our friends. We’re fighting for empathetic leadership that will represent ALL of the Valley.
We believe that isn’t Derrick Van Orden. Join us in fighting for a Rep who will treat the immigrants of our Valley with respect.

Periodic reminder that Congress could stop this administration TODAY if they wanted to, and yet they don’t.

Small businesses form the beating heart of Eau Claire—from Ramone’s Ice cream to Shift Cyclery to Mr. Kitty’s Cat Café, the Valley is defined by the small businesses it hosts. This holiday season, be sure to stop by and support your community!

Instead of making good on his campaign promises, Trump is focusing on persecuting his political opponents.
How does bringing Joe Biden to Court lower grocery prices? How does this address the homelessness crisis?

The Trump administration has become defined by the hateful rhetoric they spew. As Republicans continue to crusade against our freedoms, Democrats are fighting for ALL of us.

The EPA just approved new "forever chemical" pesticides for use on food like lettuce, broccoli, and potatoes.

They're creating new pathways for long lasting & potentially harmful PFAS to get into our food & environment.

THIS is how they're going to Make America Healthy Again?

No “thank you for your service”, no respect of any kind. Is this how real Americans treat our veterans? Mark Kelly fought for our country, and you repay him with nitpicks and insults?

Disgusting. We need representation that will stand up for our veterans.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Vote for candidates who care about you—who fight for your rights, your healthcare, and your interests. The Eau Claire Democrats are fighting for all of this and more—we hope you’ll join us!

Focusing on affordability is crucial to improving the quality of life of our constituents—the EC Dems know this, and our candidates are working hard to lowers costs across the Valley. Join us, and vote for policy that Americans can afford.

We believe in inclusive, empathetic leadership that leaves no voice left behind, no one excluded. We believe racism, sexism, and transphobia have no place in the Valley—and we’re fighting for a community that everyone can be part of.

Join us in fighting for a more empathetic democracy.

Our candidates are getting out into the community and meeting people where they’re at—because the Eau Claire Dems are fighting for accountable, approachable, transparent leadership.

The Third District stretches far beyond the Valley, so our candidates are hitting the road to make sure they hear from constituents all across the District. No voice left unheard!
I am working so hard to meet people where they are at and to build a people powered campaign. This is how we will win in August and then we will carry the momentum to November to flip this seat. And I promise it will not stop there. I will always center the people of this district.

Onward!

Today, the House voted to release the Epstein Files and bring justice to the many victims Epstein left behind. We hope that the Senate will join the House in bringing a decisive end to one of America’s darkest periods, and prove that nobody, even the rich and powerful, is above the law.
