STEVENS POINT, WI – Democratic Congresswoman Gwen Moore, representing Wisconsin’s 4th Congressional District, has endorsed State Rep. Katrina Shankland for Congress in the state’s 3rd Congressional District.

Alongside Congressman Mark Pocan, Rep. Moore’s endorsement gives Shankland a clean sweep of Wisconsin’s Democratic Congressional delegation.

“I’m proud to endorse Katrina Shankland for Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District. We need a proven leader with the experience to take on Derrick Van Orden and win. Katrina’s unmatched record in the Legislature delivering results for Wisconsin is exactly what we need in Congress,” Moore said.

“I’m deeply honored to have Congresswoman Moore’s endorsement in our campaign to defeat Radical Derrick Van Orden. As the Dean of our delegation, Congresswoman Moore is one of Wisconsin’s most respected Democratic leaders. She leads with common sense, compassion, and a commitment to public service—qualities that we all deserve from our representatives,” Shankland said.

In addition to Moore and Pocan, Shankland has amassed endorsements from Congressman Eric Sorensen, former Congressman Dave Obey, the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO, 16 unions, more than four dozen state and local elected officials, End Citizens United, Social Security Works, and United Rural Democrats. Head-to-head polling shows Shankland is the only Democratic candidate who beats Van Orden in the general election this November, 48-46%.

Katrina Shankland is a state representative in the Wisconsin State Assembly. In the Legislature, Katrina has passed 225 bipartisan laws, including increased access to affordable rural healthcare, help for farmers, expanded protections for first responders, and stronger clean water laws. Katrina is running for Congress to bring some common sense to the Capitol, fight against extremism, and deliver results for the hard-working people of Wisconsin. She is willing to work with anyone — Democrats or Republicans — to get things done for Wisconsin. For more, go to katrinashanklandforcongress.com.
