TODAY: Courage for America’s Bus Tour Hosts Press Conference in La Crosse To Demand Rep. Van Orden Promise To “Back Off Our Benefits”

State Senator Brad Pfaff, Advocates Ramp Up Pressure on MAGA Republicans Ahead of Potential Default Crisis and McCarthy’s 100th Day

LA CROSSE, WI — Today, (4/15) at 12 PM CT, as part of its nationwide “Back Off Our Benefits” bus tour, Courage for America and Opportunity Wisconsin will host a press conference with local advocates in La Crosse at Red Cloud Park to call on Representative Van Orden to promise his constituents that he will not cut essential programs that Americans rely on — including Social Security, Medicare, and veterans’ benefits.

Joined by State Senator Brad Pfaff, Protect Our Care, Citizen Action of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Alliance for Retired Americans, and other allies, Rep. Van Orden’s constituents will shine a light on how MAGA lawmakers’ political games are pushing the country toward a default crisis at the expense of American seniors, veterans, and children.
