Meet Rodney Rave
Rodney Rave is a lifelong resident of Black River, Wisconsin, a proud Ho-Chunk Nation member, union laborer, and family man who built his life through hard work, integrity, and service to others. From humble beginnings in an “old shack” with a dirt floor to a 31-year career in highway construction and public service as a Ho-Chunk Nation legislator, Rodney embodies Wisconsin’s blue-collar values.
Rodney isn’t a politician, he’s a builder, a problem-solver, and a uniter. He’s seen firsthand the struggles of working families, veterans, and farmers, and he’s stepping up to fix what’s broken in Washington so government can finally work for the people again. A Christian and a traditional Ho-Chunk spiritual practitioner, Rodney lives by a simple principle taught to him since childhood:
Now, he’s ready to bring those same values to Congress, to fight for the people of western Wisconsin and ensure a better future for the next seven generations.
Donate to RodneyAbout The District
In Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, voters need a candidate who speaks the language of rural voters, someone who can connect across cultural, tribal, and class lines.
Rodney Rave is that candidate. Stretching from Eau Claire to Lacrosse, voters across Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District represent the best America has to offer; hardworking individuals who operate honestly and sensibly and expect the same from their politicians.
However, many Wisconsinites feel left behind with rising costs, declining healthcare quality and missing politicians. DC insiders have vacated their responsibilities to help folks address the issues that are most pressing to them. Rodney is determined to bring the focus back to Wisconsin's 3rd district and work with voters to find solutions to their most pressing needs and build a brighter future for Wisconsin.
