September 29, 2025

While Democrats are pushing for a government shutdown which would force military members to work without pay, Derrick Van Orden is standing up for the men and women on the frontline. Derrick Van Orden recently backed the Pay our Troops Act to ensure service members are paid during a potential shutdown.

“While Democrats are threatening to shut the government down to appease their radical base, Derrick Van Orden is standing up for our men and women in uniform. Military families in Wisconsin know Van Orden will always fight for them in Washington.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
