Friend,
Before 2000, rural and urban Americans did not vote all that differently, but this has changed rapidly over the last generation, and by 2022, 74% voted GOP nationwide.
We are worse off because of it. We earn about 10-20% less than our urban counterparts, but our living costs are the same. Our infrastructure is crumbling. Our youth are leaving, we are aging, and our graduates aren't staying.
Liberals and "wokeness" didn't kill the family farm and bring manufacturing jobs overseas.
College professors didn't pour mountains of opioids into rural communities.
Immigrants didn't shutter rural hospitals and let rural infrastructure decay.
It was corporations prioritizing profit before 'We, the People'. It was decades of neglect, poor Congressional leadership, divestment, and the abandonment of rural ideals.
Friend, I'm not just here to sell doom and gloom. I want to offer all of us hope. It doesn't have to be this way.
To bring economic opportunity to rural America and make the American Dream more of a reality, we need:
*
Strong
schools
*
Good
broadband
and
other
vital
infrastructure,
including
healthcare
*
An
affordable
place
to
live
with
strong
families,
clean
air,
water,
and
land.
*
And
let's
remember
family
planning
-
the
ability
to
plan
when
to
raise
children.
This is what Democrats like me support. Democrats may have lost the voters in rural areas, but I'll never lose faith in our ability to be better, our ability to change - to elect common-sense, principled leadership to reverse the tide.
WE CAN DO THIS!
It is up to us. We must:
*
Focus
on
creating
a
recreation-based
economy
to
replace
the
old
one
based
on
resource
extraction.
*
Provide
a
welcoming
environment
to
promote
diversity
and
be
an
engine
of
revitalization
*
Resist
the
predations
of
corporate
consolidation
and
promote
small
businesses.
We need to create a movement with a vision for the future with all of us.
Our future depends on it.
Thank you for your continued support.
