Congressman Derrick Van Orden often mislabels Eau Claire as “dangerous”—this could not be farther from the truth. As the fifth safest city in the entire country, Eau Claire is an accepting, empathetic community that prioritizes the safety of our most vulnerable residents.

We urge everyone who is outraged by ICE cruelty and violence to take non-violent actions, including contacting legislators, helping neighbors, protesting, and more. Minneapolis and many other cities are calling for a nationwide shutdown this coming Friday, Jan. 30.

MAGA-backed Tiffany is not right for Wisconsin—this is a state with a deep and proud progressive history. We will not let MAGA drag us back into the past.

As the fifth safest city in the country, few cities are as safe as Eau Claire—we take enormous pride in our accepting, welcoming community. Our local leaders have fought hard to make this city one-of-a-kind.

We care about affordable healthcare, not bullying trans kids. We care about protecting the working class, not pleasing billionaires. We care about American workers, not Donald Trump.

Yesterday, tens of thousands of Minnesotans flooded the streets to protest the violent actions of ICE in Minneapolis. Today, the city awakes to more violence and tragedy—when will it end? We stand with our neighbors and our community, and call for justice for Alex Pretti.

Expanding ICE’s funding makes America less safe. We believe in law and order, community, and acceptance—all values that ICE opposes. To expand ICE’s funding when it’s facing more accusations of abuse than ever is dangerous.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

With temperatures plunging, it becomes more and more important to fund infrastructure to fight homelessness—warming shelters, food pantries, affordable housing, etc. The EC Dems are committed to addressing Eau Claire’s homelessness crisis. We cannot ignore the city’s most vulnerable citizens.

The peaceful Anti-ICE demonstrations across the country are a sign that the people have had enough. Here in the Midwest, it’s freezing cold, but we’re protesting regardless because our democracy is more important. Join us. Enough is enough.

Wisconsinites have made our support of abortion rights clear. Through the election of pro-choice candidates Susan Crawford and Janet Protasiewicz, we have a Court that protects women’s rights and their bodily autonomy.

America is facing an affordability crisis like we haven’t seen since 2020. We’ve tried tariffs. We’ve tried bombing Venezuela. And we’ve tried calling it a “hoax”. Now can we try addressing the issue?

Planned and spontaneous rallies and protests are happening in large and small communities all around us. Coming up in Eau Claire: Wed. Jan. 14, 3 pm, in front of Fed. Building, corner Barstow and Lake. And Tues. Jan 20, 3 pm front of Fed Building.

Keep ICE out of Eau Claire. The Valley will not stand by while masked police kidnap our neighbors. We strongly condemn the recent ICE presence in Eau Claire and ask the Valley to rally in support of our community and the families affected.

The Republicans that joined in funding the ACA recognize its effectiveness—healthcare is essential, and the ACA provides lifesaving care for millions of Americans. This is a triumph of Democrat policy. Thank you, President Obama!

My Representative angrily posted this in the direct wake of the Minneapolis shooting—this statement is a disgusting misrepresentation of the tragedy. Apparently, DVO agrees, because he has now taken the post down. But the internet is forever.

The news from Minneapolis today is heartbreaking—ICE is a masked, heavily-armed force that has now taken the life of an American citizen. The EC Dems condemn this horrible act, and our deepest sympathies go out to her family.

The Eau Claire Democrats are incredibly grateful for Tim Walz’s staunch advocacy of progressive values in Minnesota. With him as Governor, Minnesota has pioneered innovative programs to meet the needs of the community. We hope our next Governor is able to fight for a similar model here in Wisconsin.

Our New Years Resolution was to elect progressives across the state and country in 2026–we’re excited to make that Resolution a reality! 💙💙💙

We’ve fought hard to expand the resources we offer the community, and we’re so proud of what Eau Claire has been able to accomplish. We are a city that cares about its citizens, and we will continue to fight for the Valley to have better care.

The EC Dems are focused on affordability—we know America’s #1 problem right now is the sky-high price of groceries and rising healthcare costs. Meanwhile, Republicans are focused on ridiculous warmongering like this. Vote for a party who knows what’s actually important.

Bombing Venezuela doesn’t make groceries any cheaper, or healthcare any more accessible, or our rights any less under attack. Republicans have forgotten what is most important to America.

There are three pathways to peace in Ukraine: a just peace through Russian defeat, an unjust peace through compromise, and genocidal occupation euphemistically called peace through Ukrainian surrender. Ukraine is working towards the first goal, Europe for the second, Trump for the third.

Banning books is authoritarian and immoral, period. The EC Dems oppose book bans in their entirety, they are a blatant violation of the first amendment and an insult to our Constitution. The EC Dems support banning book bans.

A woman’s right to bodily autonomy is incredibly important—the EC Dems support the right of every woman to control their own body, and get an abortion if they chose. Keep your politics out of women’s doctors offices.

The Eau Claire Democrats believe nobody is above the law. If the President is incriminated in anyway in the Epstein Files, he should face consequences. The President is an elected official, not a King.

America is facing an affordability crisis under Trump. The Trump Tariffs have made Christmas more expensive than ever—Democrats are fighting to lower prices and raise America’s Holiday Spirit!

Eau Claire’s city busses are now fare-free for anyone under 18. Public transport connects our community—so we’re expanding accessibility to meet the needs of Eau Claire.

Feed My People Pop-Up Food Bank is coming back to Eau Claire! This holiday season, nobody should starve—all are welcome to these resources. Happy Holidays!🎄

The party calling queer people “groomers” seems to have redacted a lot of the files about groomers. Coincidence?

The Epstein Files have been “released”. Notice anything suspicious?

The Trump administration claimed to support releasing the files, but now they say they won’t meet the deadline of the bill Trump signed. Yet another unfulfilled promise.

Conversion therapy is a disgusting and inhumane practice. The city of Eau Claire has banned conversion therapy—this is action we need to take on a statewide level. Queer kids must be protected, not converted.

Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."

Gun violence is the one of the most serious issues facing America, and the Eau Claire Dems support common-sense gun laws to address this crisis. Children should be able to go to school without fearing for their lives—this is what we’re fighting for, and we hope you’ll join us.

The EC Dems strongly support the Jewish community—we’re fighting for a world where everyone, regardless of their religion, gender, race, sex, or orientation, can be respected and included in their communities. We condemn the terrorist attacks in Australia, and the antisemitism motivating them.

Join us at the Lazy Monk every 1st & 3rd Tuesday! Eau Claire is a haven of good beer and good people, and we’ll have both!

The Trump administration is defending bullying and harassment—while Democrats are fighting to keep ALL of our children, including trans kids, safe and accepted in their environment.

The Eau Claire Democrats are incredibly grateful for Emily Berge’s leadership as City Council President. From fighting a pandemic and hospital closures to protecting our city’s environment and natural beauty, you have fought for what is most important to this city—and for that we are thankful.

Keeping the Valley affordable is a top priority of the Eau Claire Dems. As Trump’s tariffs cause prices to skyrocket, we’re fighting to support our local businesses and farmers—are you with us?

Feed My People’s pop-up food pantry is in town today!

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

Nobody in the Valley deserves to be targeted and marginalized—and we’re fighting to make that happen. The Eau Claire Dems are welcoming of ALL people, and we hope Rep. Derrick Van Orden learns a thing or two from us!

Immigrants are our strength, our neighbors, and our friends. We’re fighting for empathetic leadership that will represent ALL of the Valley. We believe that isn’t Derrick Van Orden. Join us in fighting for a Rep who will treat the immigrants of our Valley with respect.

Throw that word at the father of a disabled kid and you better run.
