Wisconsinites Are Paying Nearly $1,600 More Thanks to Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil’s Economy

As Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil try to spin the state of their disastrous economy, here’s your reminder that Minnesota families are already paying nearly $1,600 more on average due to their cost-spiking agenda.

Here’s how Van Orden and Steil have wrecked the economy for working families:

  • Van Orden and Steil voted to rubber-stamp Trump’s tariffs that have cost the average American household more than $1,700 each and chaos for Wisconsin farmers.
  • Grocery costs are up by $310 under unified GOP control of Washington.
  • Energy bills have increased by an average of 13%.
  • 30,000 people in WI-03 are paying 123% more and 26,000 people in WI-01 are paying 69% more on average for their health insurance premiums, due to Van Orden and Steil’s failure to extend the tax credits before they expired.

And reminder: Van Orden and Steil voted to give handouts to billionaires and big corporations instead of real tax relief for Wisconsin families.

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil promised Wisconsinites they would fix the economy. Instead, families and farmers are struggling because Van Orden and Steil rubber-stamped reckless tariffs and a billionaires-first agenda that has made everything from groceries to housing to health care more expensive.”
