Continuing his outreach efforts within the district, a post dated August 7 reported: "Rep. Van Orden hosted a business roundtable with 50+ representatives from the construction, manufacturing, hospitality, & agricultural industries in the Third District. We’ll always work to ensure our local business owners have the tools they need to succeed & keep WI-03 great!"
