One Year Ago Today, Derrick Van Orden Voted To Raise Costs, Gut Jobs, and Jeopardize Funding For Law Enforcement

One year ago today, Derrick Van Orden passed the Default on America Act, a partisan wish-list that risked the safety and security of Wisconsin families.

Van Orden's extreme vote would have:

• Increased taxes on middle class families and raised energy prices

• Gutted funding for veterans' health care by 22 percent - resulting in nearly 81,000 fewer health service jobs and 30 million fewer veteran outpatient visits

• Threatened access to Social Security and Medicare

The 118th Congress has been mired in chaos, crisis, and confusion. Thanks to Van Orden, history will remember this Congress being the least productive in modern American history.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"Derrick Van Orden will continue to face the consequences for supporting a plan that would have cut manufacturing jobs, raised costs, and threatened the safety of Wisconsin families. Time and time again, Van Orden has refused to break from his party and put middle class families first."
