Here’s the deal: Democrats have been losing, often by wide margins, in rural districts nationwide for decades. As long as Republicans can count on winning rural seats without a serious fight, they will always have outsized influence.
That means we will continue to struggle to pass legislation at the state level and in Congress even on broadly popular issues that a majority of Americans support, including gun control, affordable healthcare, fighting climate change, a livable wage, and upholding abortion rights.
We can’t let this situation continue any longer. Democrats need to figure out how to win these rural districts. If just one candidate can make a breakthrough and flip a rural seat, we could create a blueprint for Democrats all over the country to follow.
That’s exactly what I’m doing right now. We’re using my hard-won knowledge of Virginia’s 25th District in the House of Delegates, combined with my organizing experience and cutting-edge campaign strategies, to create a national movement to flip the 25th District blue for the first time in years.
We have a tremendous opportunity to get back on track to winning rural districts nationwide. I hope you’ll join our team and help us make it happen.
