Representative Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) is projected to face Rebecca Cooke, a political fundraiser and waitress, in a rematch for a battleground House seat representing central and western Wisconsin, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Cooke secured her place in the general election after fending off a primary challenge. This upcoming contest follows the 2024 election cycle, in which Cooke ran against Van Orden and was defeated by a margin of just over 11,000 votes.

The race is expected to be a competitive battleground contest for the Wisconsin congressional seat, with both candidates preparing for a renewed electoral showdown.
