In a primary contest Tuesday, Wisconsin Democrat state Rep. Katrina Shankland was defeated by local business owner Rebecca Cooke, setting up a race to unseat Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden in November. Van Orden, a former Navy SEAL, narrowly defeated Democrat state Sen. Brad Pfaff to flip the seat for the GOP last year after longtime Democrat incumbent Ron Kind chose not to seek reelection. Pfaff has decided not to challenge Van Orden in 2024.
The Wisconsin Examiner reported that in the final days of the race, the election became 'more combative as outside super PACs have injected money into the race on behalf of Cooke, while Shankland cries foul and touts her experience as a legislator.
