Rebecca is gaining momentum against corrupt Republican incumbent Derrick Van Orden because she gets it — she knows what it's like to put in a double shift waitressing. She knows the support local farmers need because she grew up working on her family's dairy farm in Eau Claire. And she knows that even as the polls shift slightly in her favor, she's got a long road and tough race ahead.

Van Orden is one of the richest members of Congress. He has continuously ignored Wisconsin farmers and cut health care for Wisconsin families. And he'll say and do and spend whatever it takes to win this race — including calling on his billionaire friends to flood the field with money. 

Still, this poll is an early indicator that the people of Wisconsin are ready for a change. They're ready for a leader who will protect health care, defend reproductive freedom, grow local economies, and make sure every family, no matter their zip code and no matter their income, has a real shot. And that leader is Rebecca Cooke

That's why EMILYs List has supported Rebecca from day one, and why we'll work tirelessly until she flips this seat — and the U.S. House — in 2026. 

Donate today to support the next generation of Democratic leaders — women like Rebecca — and power our work to take back power across the country:
