Red to Blue Candidate

Rebecca Cooke is a sixth-generation Wisconsinite who grew up working on her family’s dairy farm in Eau Claire, where she learned the values of hard work, resilience, and service to community. A small business owner, nonprofit leader, and waitress, Rebecca understands firsthand the challenges facing working families because she’s lived them herself. She’s running for Congress to bring more working-class voices to Washington and fight for the communities, farmers, and families who too often feel left behind.

In 2024, Cooke ran a highly competitive race in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District while waiting tables to help pay the bills, earning 49 percent of the vote against Republican incumbent Derrick Van Orden in a district carried by Donald Trump. Since launching her campaign, Rebecca has substantially outraised Van Orden as another closely contested race takes shape in Western Wisconsin.

Wisconsin’s 3rd constitutes a must-win seat to secure a House majority, and we can only get there with Rebecca’s success.
