NRCC Statement on WI-03 Primary Election

WASHINGTON – The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) released the following statement on Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional district primary election:

“In what became the messiest Wisconsin Democrat primary in years, professional political fundraiser Rebecca Cooke has been forced to show all her cards and reveal how out of touch she is with Wisconsinites. Congressman Derrick Van Orden continues to deliver results for Wisconsin veterans and workers, while extreme Democrat Rebecca Cooke has been left outright unelectable.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
