PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, Wisc. – As we approach the last few weeks before election day, one thing is clear: Scardy Cat Rebecca Crook is afraid to debate Congressman Derrick Van Orden.
Frankly, we don’t blame her. There’s a LOT that Crook has been hiding from voters across Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District – it may also explain why she hasn’t sat down with reporters or done public events.
One thing we know she’s hiding is her personal history. Crook has spent the better part of 2024 building her campaign around claims that she’s one of us – an average Jane if you will.
REALITY CHECK: It couldn’t be further from the truth.
Rebecca Crook has spent over a decade working as a Democratic political operative. Check it out from The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
“Cooke, 36, served as finance director for four congressional races in Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado, and California, raising $3.7 million in one of those contests. In 2015, she registered Cooke Strategy LLC, a Democratic political and fundraising consulting firm. FEC records show the firm advised eight state and federal campaigns between 2015 and 2021.”
“Between 2012 and 2014, FEC records show that Cooke did fundraising work for Democratic candidates Jim Graves of Minnesota, Joe Miklosi of Colorado, and Syad Taj of Michigan, all of whom lost or withdrew from their races, and Rep. Raul Ruiz of California. Cooke said on her defunct campaign website that she helped raise $3.7 million for Ruiz.”
Does that sound like a working-class, regular Jane to you? No. So why is the media allowing her to get away with her narrative unchecked?
If reporters happen to run into Scardy Crook at an event in the future, here’s one question they should ask her:
Are you purposefully deceiving voters across Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District by omitting your history as a high-rolling fundraiser and political operative for the Democratic Party?
