Derrick Van Orden Set to Raise Monthly Internet Costs for Wisconsin Households

Tomorrow, full funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) will expire, forcing tens of thousands of Wisconsin families to face stark price hikes on their monthly internet bills.

A product of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – which Derrick Van Orden criticized on the campaign trail last cycle – the ACP serves over 42,000 households in Wisconsin’s third congressional district, providing discounts for monthly internet bills.

Van Orden, however, has refused to co-sponsor a bipartisan bill that would replenish the fund to keep monthly bills low for millions of Americans.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Derrick Van Orden is once again siding with his party and refusing to lift a finger to lower costs for Wisconsin families. That says everything you need to know about his ‘priorities.’”
