Derrick Van Orden
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide V000135.
Derrick Van Orden is the Republican representative for the House from WI, district 3 in the 119th Congress. The chart uses the October 2026 snapshot. The position is Voteview’s DW-NOMINATE score of the roll calls. Color is the party label. The place is the votes.
The first dimension is 0.379, drawn as economics +38. That is right of center on economics. The second dimension is -0.033, drawn as authority -3. The other axis sits near the middle. Voteview’s second dimension is not a pure social axis. The chart uses the public file anyway, rather than inventing a different number.
Inside the House, this first-dimension score ranks 257 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is left of the Republican median in this chamber (0.53). The nearest other House scores are Max L. Miller (Republican, 0.369), Mike Bost (Republican, 0.402), Gus M. Bilirakis (Republican, 0.423). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://vanorden.house.gov), under “Agriculture,” says: “As the only Wisconsin Member on the House Committee on Agriculture, ensuring our farmers and agriculture workers are equipped to fuel, feed,…” Those are the member’s words. They are not the same thing as the roll-call score.
One left-to-right score cannot say how Derrick Van Orden would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide V000135.
