Five Questions for Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden on McCarthy’s Extreme MAGA Agenda

Just weeks after House Democrats prevented a GOP-manufactured default, Speaker Kevin McCarthy is putting highly vulnerable Reps. Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden at risk just to placate his far-right base as they threaten his weakening grip on the Speaker’s gavel.

Wisconsinites deserve to know if Steil and Van Orden will stand up for their constituents or continue to stand with McCarthy and his extreme agenda.

  • Will Steil and Van Orden support efforts to fast track the GOP Tax Scam 2.0 to give tax giveaways to the wealthy and well-connected, and protect tax cheats?

  • Will Steil and Van Orden vote for ongoing Republican efforts to enact a nationwide abortion ban?

  • Do Steil and Van Orden support the political stunts targeting FBI Director Christopher Wray?

  • Do Steil and Van Orden support right-wing efforts to impeach the Homeland Security Secretary?

  • Do Steil and Van Orden want to impeach President Biden for overseeing the creation of 13 million jobs in 28 months?

Recent polling suggests vulnerable House Republicans – including Steil and Van Orden – are prioritizing the wrong issues. 

DCCC spokesperson Viet Shelton
“Vulnerable House Republicans like Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden are seemingly ok with bailing out Kevin McCarthy and advancing the Freedom Caucus’ extreme agenda at the direct expense of Wisconsinites. Steil and Van Orden’s continued deference to McCarthy’s radical and dangerous priorities is only helping Democrats build the case against them in 2024.”
