Rep. Derrick Van Orden Press Office, representing Wisconsin’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, has used social media to comment on ongoing government funding negotiations and the potential impact of a federal shutdown. The posts highlight partisan divisions over programs such as WIC and military pay.
On October 7, 2025, the press office posted: ".@POTUS and @HouseGOP are fighting to keep WIC funded so mothers and their children get the resources they need. Democrats shut it all down to play political games."
The following day, on October 8, 2025, another post addressed concerns about military pay amid the threat of a government shutdown: "T-minus 7 days until @SenSchumer’s shutdown stops our great troops from getting paid. Schumer cares more about funding healthcare for illegal aliens than paying the men and women who defend our country."
Later that same day, the press office posted: " Senate Democrats have now voted six times to keep the government shut down."
Derrick Van Orden began serving in Congress in 2023 after defeating Brad Pfaff in the 2022 general election and Rebecca Cooke in the 2024 general election. He succeeded Ron Kind as representative of Wisconsin’s 3rd district.
