Rebecca Cooke, a political candidate in Wisconsin, outlined her policy priorities during a press conference. She declared her intention to protect Wisconsin's farmland from purchase by foreign nationals and to institute a moratorium on data centers across the state. Cooke stated that ending the "war in Iran" would alleviate rising gas and fertilizer prices, which she attributes to increasing costs across various sectors.
Cooke also took the opportunity to criticize her likely opponent, Derrick Van Orden, alleging that he has not independently run his campaign or directly engaged with constituents. She claimed Van Orden has failed to host any in-person town halls to be accountable for his votes, instead bringing different Trump administration officials to his district frequently.
