With the House within single digits of swinging Republican, every seat will matter in 2022. But perhaps the most watched as a national indicator will be the Wisconsin 3rd congressional district and the Republican campaign of former Navy SEAL and combat vet Derrick Van Orden.
Van Orden lost by a whisker to Democrat incumbent Ron Kind in 2020. Kind is now under fire for renting out commercial space to a “massage parlor”, not to mention the attendant human trafficking issues. As such, Van Orden’s campaign is doing well and cash is already rolling in. This will be an important race to watch in 2022. That’s why the race is already on.

According to sources in the Wisconsin 3rd CD: “Van Orden raised more than $750,000 in a single quarter, the largest amount of any Republican challenger for a U.S. House seat across the nation. Incumbent Ron Kind, a member of Congress for more than 2 decades and a member of one of the nation’s most lucrative committees, raised just $408,504.31 in Q2 bringing his total for the year to $657,382.29. Derrick Van Orden raised nearly $100,000 more in one quarter than his incumbent opponent has since the year began.”
As we read the details we find that over 94% of the former Navy SEAL’s fundraising came from individual donations. Over 60% of Ron Kind’s fundraising came from his special interest and leftist Washington PACs. That says a lot about local support.

Van Orden had this to say on the success of his funding efforts, “By raising more money in a single quarter than Ron Kind has this year, our Team of Wisconsinites are sending this message loud and clear: ‘We are done with career politicians who are bought and paid for by the highest bidder.’
“One look at Kind’s report and our’s shows you everything you need to know. 94% of our donations come from individuals and over 60% of Kind’s are from Special Interest Groups and Liberal DC allies desperate for him to keep his job as they know they own his vote. Being the Representative for Wisconsin’s 3rd District means representing the people, not your own self-interest. I’ve dedicated my life to public service, and Kind has dedicated his to self-service. One look at his personal bank account will tell you that.”
