Blue Dogs know how to win in Trump Country because we’ve already done it! Our co-chairs Mary Peltola, Jared Golden, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez are examples of Democratic candidates who have defied the odds time and time again.
The trick is to nominate good blue-collar candidates who truly represent working-class people and stand firm in their common-sense values.
Look, friends. Voters in rural districts aren’t stupid. They know the difference between a candidate who is bought and paid for by big business and party elites versus working-class candidates who will fight for them.
We’ve won in Trump districts because we’ve proven to these voters that we support working families like them and we’ll have their back in Washington. You can’t act like a regular politician and expect rural voters to see through the political talking points—we have to talk to voters like they’re real people because they are!
Blue Dogs are normal people in Congress who want to get sh*t done. We believe in freedom and we’re fighting to protect yours. We’re pro-America, pro-democracy, and working to pass fiscally responsible policies that benefit everyday, hard-working Americans.
