It’s time for Democrats to look in the mirror. If we don’t change our approach to governing, we’re going to keep losing and extremists will keep winning.
Blue Dogs, like Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, have given us a roadmap to win in rural districts that voted for Donald Trump. The key is to support normal people running for Congress - parents of young kids, people in rural communities, and people in the trades.
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is the perfect example of the candidates we need to support. She’s a mother and an auto-shop owner. She refused to let her opponents nationalize the race and focused on delivering a message to voters that she will fight for them - and in Congress, that’s exactly what she’s doing by working across the aisle to get things done.
As Marie said, “It’s about my loyalty to my community.” That’s the kind of approach Democrats need to win back rural voters and flip districts from red-to-blue!
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.
