    Derrick Van Orden described the sanctioned Russian officials he sat down with as "just people," even as he suggested that one of them “used to be a KGB agent.” Each official was under U.S. sanctions due to national security concerns. A Republican and a Democrat, Senators Wicker and Shaheen, pointed out that the Duma is not a separate but equal branch of government like the U.S. Congress. Its members include Kremlin subordinates “who have committed numerous cyber and ransomware attacks on Americans.” Months later, Van Orden still hasn't explained why the meeting took place.

    Derrick Van Orden met with members of Russia's Duma in March. Every one of them were under U.S. sanctions - unable to enter the country without special waivers. The delegation was led by a man who called NATO the "Fourth Reich" on Russian state television. A second praised missile strikes on Ukraine. And a third called for taking down Ukraine's entire energy grid. Van Orden still hasn't explained why the meeting took place, who arranged it, or what was said. Wisconsin deserves a representative who answers to voters. Please chip in what you can. Our ads will oppose Van Orden in WI-03. Your donation helps us reach more voters.

    Derrick Van Orden refuses to hold a town hall for the people of western Wisconsin. But he found time to roll out the red carpet for sanctioned Russian officials. Every member of that delegation sits in the Russian State Duma, and every one of them is barred from entering the United States without a special waiver. Their leader has called NATO the "Fourth Reich." Another cheered Russian missile strikes on Ukraine as "an expression of our hatred." A third demanded the destruction of Ukraine's entire energy grid. The people of WI-03 deserve a representative who answers to them, not to Moscow. We oppose Derrick Van Orden. Please chip in $1 or whatever you can to help us reach more voters.
