STEVENS POINT, Wis - Today, Katrina Shankland announced the rollout of a website pressuring Derrick Van Orden to debate: www.debatemederrick.com.

In 2022, Radical Derrick Van Orden refused to debate the Democratic candidate. He knew his extreme ideas and outlandish behavior would tank his chances of being elected to Congress. In 2024, Katrina won’t let him hide from voters.

“Radical Derrick Van Orden can’t hide from his record of failure and embarrassment – I am going to hold him accountable,” said Katrina Shankland.

Recent polling conducted by Blueprint Polling shows Katrina Shankland is the only Democrat running for Congress who beats Van Orden in the General Election this November. In the poll, Shankland bests Van Orden in the General Election 48-46% while Rebecca Cooke trails Van Orden in the simulated ballot.

Katrina is a state representative in the Wisconsin State Assembly. In the Legislature, Katrina passed 180 bipartisan laws, including increased access to affordable rural healthcare, help for farmers, expanded protections for first responders, and stronger clean water laws. Katrina is running for Congress to bring some common sense to the Capitol, fight against extremism, and deliver results for the hard-working people of Wisconsin.

In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’re highlighting the work that President Biden and Vice President Harris are doing every day to fight for women across America — from protecting reproductive freedom to securing economic equity and opportunity.
