John – Progressive values are American values. That’s just a fact.
The polling tells us this is true. When you strip away the political buzzwords and ask people in a very straightforward way, progressive policies are universally popular.
Ask people if they think everyone should have healthcare without co-pays and sky-high deductibles – 70% will say yes.
Ask people if they believe anyone who works full time should make enough money to have a decent standard of living – even a majority of REPUBLICANS will say yes.
A clear majority of Americans support lowering prescription drug prices, opening hospitals in rural communities, expanding broadband service, and bringing jobs back to towns that are drying up.
The truth is that progressive policies will save rural America.
That’s why Brand New Congress is expanding our work into races with large rural communities. Erica Smith (NC-01), Marsha Williams (IL-17), Jessica Cisneros (TX-28), Tom Winter (MT-01), Doyle Canning (OR-04), Charles Booker (KY-SN), Morgan Harper (OH-SN), and Malcolm Kenyatta (PN-SN) all have large rural communities in their districts – and those communities have deep needs that aren’t being met by politics as usual.
Rural communities deserve climate champions and representatives who will fight for universal healthcare as much as any other. Can you pitch in $25, $50, or $100 now to help us win these rural districts?
