Rebecca Cooke rallied volunteers with Sen. Tammy Baldwin in Eau Claire
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - Democratic Congressional Candidate Rebecca Cooke gathered volunteers on Thursday in Eau Claire, alongside veteran Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin.
This isn’t the first time Baldwin has campaigned alongside Cooke. Baldwin joined her in 2024 when Cooke last the race to Republican Congressman Derrick Van Orden.
Why is it different this year? In the midst of President Donald Trump’s second presidency, Baldwin believes there’s a need for checks and balances that Van Orden is not providing.
“Derrick Van Orden has failed to host any sort of in-person town hall, to be accountable for his votes, and hides from his constituents and spends more time on the internet and Twitter and making deepfake AI videos than actually showing up for regular people,” said Cooke.
Cooke wants to show up on campuses at district universities and technical colleges to engage with young voters she says are often under looked.
