I joined the Wisconsin Farmers Union state convention yesterday. It was a day filled with policy discussions, learning about the top issues facing farmers, and making connections with local farmers.

I experienced Sparta Kriskindlmarkt for the first time last night and it was so much fun! What a great way to draw people to your community, showcase your small businesses, and bring people together. And despite it being it 2°, it was packed!

Despite it being a chilly day, I kept busy throughout the district! I had lunch with the Osseo Mayor and Chamber President, both who are doing exciting things for their community and putting Osseo on the map. Don't sleep on Osseo, folks!

Thank you, Dave, for your endorsement! "As a local elected official, I know how important it is to have leaders who understand the day-to-day challenges our communities face” -Dave Carlson

Eau, what a night! It was so fun to serve a full house at 3rd & Vine tonight! I met lots of new people and chatted with friends who stopped by. If you haven't been to 3rd & Vine, you need to go...such a cozy neighborhood spot.

Eau Claire County Democratic Party filled the hall of the Labor Temple last night. We elected new exec board members and heard from state electeds. Spring candidates were collecting signatures and we had numerous local electeds in attendance. It was a joyful night!

YES, I am running for U.S. Congress to defeat Derek Van Orden. It’s come to my attention that some voters were confused by news stories about my leaving the Council presidency, so I want to make it clear: I’m in this until the end. Let’s defeat DVO together.

DVO would rather take a punch than have a public town hall. Interesting🤔

Through the power of friendship bracelets and handmade pins, this campaign is determined to connect with every voter—and have fun doing so! Thank you, everyone, for your art and support!

It is time to step down to step up. After nearly 8 years of service, I am not seeking re-election. We have been through tough times as a community with COVID-19, attacks on our immigrant community, and the loss of two hospitals. It’s time for a new chapter of service—but EC will not be forgotten.

Join neighbors in La Crosse in collecting men’s cold weather clothing and monetary donations tomorrow (Friday, November 28th) from 10am to noon in front of Valley View Mall. This clothing drive will support WINN (What I Need Now) in their efforts to foster community through action.

Hey, hey! Join the Berge For Congress campaign next Wednesday for a cozy, crafting night! All ages are welcome. And all crafting skill levels are welcome. (I am on the lowest level of crafting skills). See you there!

As your representative, I would be out there organizing our water defenders and being loud to protect our area's natural resources. I would not vote in favor of any bill that decimates our beautiful rivers and lakes.

What a week. For the first time since I announced I spent most of a week out of the district. I was invited to DC to attend a Patriotic Millionaires event on taxing the rich. They are advocating for federal legislation that will level the playing field between regular folks and the ultra wealthy.

“Local support has been a central point of my campaign. Throughout Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District, I have had the privilege of running a grassroots campaign that focuses on real people and every day issues. “ -Emily Berge, your local congressional candidate

Grateful to have the support of Mayor Shaundel, he is a testament to the power of local organizing. Our campaign is centered around putting the needs of those who live here above corporate interests. Which is why I’m so proud to have the support of local leaders like Shaundel.

I am working so hard to meet people where they are at and to build a people powered campaign. This is how we will win in August and then we will carry the momentum to November to flip this seat. And I promise it will not stop there. I will always center the people of this district. Onward!

I attended "Encounters" a local art show organized by JONAH and hosted at Eau Claire Area Hmong Mutual Assistance Association. It was a powerful display of the different cultures that make the Valley so special. Thank you, JONAH!

Tonight I attended a forum at UW-Eau Claire on the impacts of Act 15 on the students, faculty, and Wisconsin in general. It was powerful to hear from students and faculty. share.google/swcvX8xanJGd...

Happy Veterans Day, and thank you to all of our servicemembers! Wisconsin is home to over 330,000 veterans and today is our day to thank them for devoting themselves to public service – and think about what our country and government owe them in return.

Join us December 3rd, 6-8PM, for a cozy night of easy campaign crafts - friendship bracelets, poster making, and coloring (supplies and snacks provided). Drinks available for purchase - all ages welcome! Location: Lazy Monk Brewery (97 W Madison Street, Eau Claire)

I’ll be taking a step behind the bar from 5:30-7:30 at 3rd & Vine, on December 10th! We hope you’ll swing by for a drink and a chat with a mom, City Council President, and Congressional Candidate! Date: Wednesday, December 10 Time: 5:30-7:30pm Location: 3rd & Vine (1929 3rd Street, Eau Claire)

Join us December 4th at the Eau Claire Children’s Museum for a fundraiser celebrating my birthday! There will be cake, refreshments, and after-hours access to the museum, so we hope to see you there! Date: 12/04/2025, 5PM-7PM Location: 126 N Barstow St, Eau Claire WI

Thanks to Dem leadership like Governor Evers, families across the state will receive the benefits many rely on to survive. This is a victory for all of Wisconsin—and while the Trump admin continues to fight the resumption of aid in court, Dems are ensuring families will have food on the table.

We’re hosting a food drive! We ask the community to bring non-perishable donations to our resource center (440 Browdway St, Eau Claire) November 1st-13th. We also have a donation container for cash or checks made out to Feed My People Food Bank or St. Francis Food Pantry!

I attended Citizen Action's Healthcare TownHall tonight. The topic of discussion? Trump, DVO and other Republicans are cool giving tax breaks to billionaires but NOT cool with giving regular folks tax cuts on their healthcare. What the actual heck?? We deserve better.

Our Berge shirts are in and we will begin shipping them out in the next week! We did order extras so if you didn't order one before, here is your chance! secure.actblue.com/donate/berge... These shirts are printed locally in Eau Claire by Ambient Inks ❤️

Happy Birthday, Governor Evers! Since you took office in 2019, you have made a lasting impact on this State that won’t soon be forgotten. Thank you for eight years of service and dedication, and happy 74th Birthday!

Last week I attended an event in Rome, WI - Adams Co (you maybe saw my video update in the ride home afterwards) which was packed with people who are concerned about the state of our country but also ready to do something.

Mamdani stood up to the establishment and big money and handily won in the primary; he continued to focus on the people of NYC which is how he handily won the general to become the future Mayor of NYC. Congratulations!

Congratulations to St. Paul's Mayor-elect Kaohly Her! St. Paul's first Hmong American and woman elected to lead the city. 🎉 Kaohly Her wins St. Paul mayor | MPR News

Allegations of heartless conditions at a key Chicago-area immigration building are “disgusting,” a judge said Tuesday before hearing evidence that could lead to changes at a site that is a stop for people rounded up by the Trump administration. https://to.pbs.org/3WECIm3

It's time for new representation in Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District. Emily Berge will work hard for the people of western and central Wisconsin. #WI-03 #VoteBlue

Thank you, Jarrett, for your endorsement! I am proud of all of my in district endorsements. My focus is on the voters of this district, and I will always prioritize in district needs over big money or special interests. I have always been community focused and will continue to be in Congress.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 We had about 400 kids come thru the neighborhood. Always fun to see the costumes. And the kids were so polite!

In November, 700,000 Wisconsinites will be without food assistance. WI-03’s current Rep., Derrick Van Orden, and other Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to re-open the government, fund SNAP, and address the healthcare tax credits set to expire at the end of the year.

Had a great night in Rome! Rome, WI, that is. We talked about healthcare, food access, money out of politics and more. People are more than ready for a change. It is not politics as usual out there anymore. #wi03voteberge #bergeforcongress #politics #watchfordeer

Republicans are trying to use food assistance as a bargaining chip. Democrats are suing to stop them.

Thank you, Mayor Mike Wiza, for your endorsement! Many folks forget that Central Wisconsin is part of the 3rd CD but it is an important part!

Wisconsin will run out of SNAP benefits starting in November, leaving over 700,000 residents without food assistance. Local food banks are sounding the alarm that they do not have the capacity to serve this significant increase. You can find your nearest food bank if you would like to help.

This afternoon we headed to Stevens Point for their "You honk, we donate" event. All the donations went to One Big Tent, an organization that helps local folks in Portage County. I am proud to say the group got 265 honks which smashed their previous record! AND earned $855 for One Big Tent 🎉

We elect our leaders. The 3rd CD will get to vote for someone who believes healthcare & food matter more than tax cuts for billionaires. People are feeling dejected about the Billionaire Bill. We can do hard things & keep going. I'm not giving up. I'm in this to win the primary and then beat DVO.

Repro Rights. Not Retro Rights. Today, the Wisconsin State Supreme Court invalidated the archaic 1849 state law that made abortion a criminal act. Let us not forget that when this law was passed, women in our nation DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE. *Photo taken at People's March in DC 1/18/25

Our first Sneaker Tread run/walk/social went fantastic last night. We had more people opt for the social part rather than the run/walk part but hey that's ok! We all came to together at the end! This event was more than a fun event, it's an opportunity for me to hear directly from the people.

Our first filing deadline is at the end of the month! We have a chance to remove Derrick Van Orden from office. Wisconsin’s 3rd CD is key to taking back the Democratic majority in the House. Help us show what people power is all about and just how strong this campaign is! bergeforcongress.com

It's Council week for me! Last night was our Public Hearing on our Capital Improvement Plan and we also discussed amendments related to affordable housing, water, and parks. #fyp #foryoupage #BergeforCongress #eauclaire

I was at the No Kings rally in Wisconsin Rapids. We are a pro democracy and anti-king campaign!

Happy Launch Day! Check out our video and share far and wide. youtu.be/vJekLHNcZxk
