STEVENS POINT, WI – Today, State Rep. Katrina Shankland released her seventh ad across TV and multiple mediums in advance of the August 13 Democracy primary election for Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District. The ad highlights Shankland’s defense of voting rights in the face of extremists like incumbent Derrick Van Orden, a 2020 election denier who was at the Capitol for the “Stop the Steal” rally on January 6.
In mid-June, Shankland became the first Democrat in WI-03 to release TV ads, with her first spot focused on her record of co-sponsoring and passing 225 bipartisan laws in the State Legislature and subsequent spots focused on reproductive freedom, clean water, and Katrina’s local endorsements.
In her campaign to unseat Van Orden, Shankland has amassed endorsements from the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO, 16 unions, Congressmen Mark Pocan and Eric Sorensen, former Congressman Dave Obey, more than four dozen state and local elected officials, End Citizens United, Social Security Works, and United Rural Democrats. Head-to-head polling shows Shankland is the only Democratic candidate who beats Van Orden in the general election this November, 48-46%.
