This is exactly what more elected Democrats should be doing. Arizona Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego recently visited rural areas, including deep Trump country, to speak directly with voters. He held a town hall in Sierra Vista, a Republican stronghold where the House seat in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District is held by a Republican.
Gallego spoke at the VFW to an audience of about 85 people, and their comments were revealing:
- Veteran Minerva Coffey asked, “How is it that as a veteran and a federal employee, I’m now sitting here wondering whether or not I’ll still have a job? How is it OK to attack myself and my fellow veterans?”
- Another veteran expressed anger over anti-DEI policies and the removal of information about women veterans.
- One attendee simply said she was glad to see a Democrat show up where she lived.
This is how we rebuild. Democrats need to go where people are, even in Republican districts, and have real conversations.
