MADISON, Wis. — In response to Vice President JD Vance’s visit to La Crosse today, WisDems Chair Devin Remiker released the following statement:

“JD Vance’s visit shows just how dangerously out of touch MAGA Republicans are with working families. He’s taking a victory lap for stripping health care from 300,000 Wisconsinites, threatening the jobs and livelihoods of thousands, and shuttering rural hospitals — including one at risk of closing in the very district he’s visiting,” said WisDems Chair Devin Remiker. “This visit isn’t about helping Wisconsin — it’s a blatant PR stunt to cover up the devastation caused by the Big Ugly Bill. These tone-deaf political photo ops are exactly why WisDems are fighting like hell to kick Republicans out of power in 2026.”

See the breakdown of the catastrophic impacts the Big Ugly Bill Vance is touting in western Wisconsin below:

  • Est. # of people losing Affordable Care Act coverage: 13,600
  • Est. # of people losing Medicaid coverage: 19,069
  • Est. total # of people losing coverage: 32,669
