Running for Wisconsin's 3rd congressional district. Can you give our viewers your platform? Sure. My name is Derek Van Orden, and I've been married to my wife, Sarah Jane, for 27 years. I was in the military for about 26 and just under 21 of those as a Navy SEAL. During that time, I deployed to combat five times. We live on a small hobby farm here in Hager City in Pierce county, and my platform is based on seven words from the Declaration of Independence. (01:44–01:50)
