When I was sworn in on January 7, 2023, I had no idea what my first year as a
U.S. Representative would be like. When I stepped into the Capitol, I was in
awe of the history that I would soon get to be a part of. I may have rolled
into DC on my Harley motorcycle, but I knew when it was time to put on a suit
and respect tradition.

I ran for office to end the lack of respect our lawmakers had shown – a lack
of respect for the duty to the Americans we serve, a lack of respect to the
Constitution our Founders laid out for us, and a lack of respect for our
country.

Being elected to Congress confirmed every suspicion I had about Washington,
DC. But at every opportunity I got, I spoke out against the status quo because
that’s what I promised I’d do and what I was elected to do.

What happened next was just as predictable as the dysfunction: The Left tried
tocancel, silence, and smear me in hopes that I’d finally give up and let the
corruption continue. I’m a Ret. Navy SEAL Senior Chief, so that didn’t scare me
in the slightest.


STAND W/ A NAVY SEAL >>

The establishment thought I was a typical politician whose values could change
for a $3,300 check or because a poll showed my beliefs aren’t popular. Here’s
who I am:
* I’m a former Navy SEAL.
* I’m 100% Conservative.
* I’m a Christian.
* I don’t have an Ivy League degree.My beliefs didn’t change because I got on
a plane and left my rural district. In fact, my favorite days at work are when
I’m back talking to sane people who don’t believe Biden when he says that
prices are lower than ever. Sane people who thank me for respecting the
sanctity of the U.S. Capitol even when the Republican establishment attacked me
for it.

This is who I am, and if you don’t like it, I’m not going to change. If I’m
not your cup of tea (or rather, your pint of beer), then thanks for giving me a
chance.However, if your values sound a lot like mine, I could really use $12
from you today.

DONATE $12 >>

DONATE ANY AMOUNT >>

I’m committed to relying on the conservatives who believe in our values most,
not the donor with the biggest check. While that may make me unpopular in
Washington, I hope that earns your respect and your donation today.

Thank you,
Derrick Van Orden

My story is simple. I was raised in rural poverty by a single mother on food
stamps. At 18, I joined the Navy. After 26 years of service and 5 combat tours,
I retired as a Navy SEAL Senior Chief. Now, I’m serving as a first-term
Congressman for Wisconsin’s 3rd District.

I’m not a swamp-dwelling politician – I don’t have support from mega-donors
or Super PACs. I’m just like you –a concerned American who loves this nation
and will always do the right thing.

The Democrats are going at me with everything they’ve got, and I’ll need all
the help I can get to protect this seat. If you have anything to spare so I can
stay on pace with the Dems, I’d be so appreciative of whatever you can chip in:
