U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the top Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, traveled to Wisconsin earlier this week to stump for Derrick Van Orden, the presumptive Republican nominee to succeed Rep. Ron Kind (D) as Representative for Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District.
McCarthy visited La Crosse “to discuss the impact of Biden and Pelosi’s failed economic policies on Wisconsin farmers.” As part of the visit, both McCarthy and Van Orden held a roundtable with local farmers and agriculture business owners and then visited a dairy farm in Onalaska. Van Orden said that farmers have been hit hard by rising prices for fuel, fertilizer, and feed. He also claimed that “the vast majority of farmers in the state of Wisconsin don’t want government money,” instead “we want to be able to run our business in a safe and efficient manner.”
