  • As students head back to school, families are struggling. The cost of school supplies and packing lunches is rising faster than paychecks. Gas prices and housing costs continue to skyrocket. Instead of helping, Rep. Van Orden is making things harder, voting to cut programs families need, like Medicaid and food assistance, just to give tax breaks to his wealthy donors. Our kids, families, and communities deserve better. Tell Rep. Van Orden to side with Wisconsin families.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
