The energy in rural America is unlike anything we’ve seen!

John, With less than 70 days until election day,  the energy in rural America is unlike anything we’ve seen! The Kamala Harris and Tim Walz campaign has brought back the joy. To celebrate,  we asked Joe Troop, a Grammy-nominated bluegrass musician, to write a song about t…

Are you a small town voter for Harris-Walz?

John, It's official. Yard signs are making a comeback! And with all of the excitement this week, I wanted to make sure you know where to get one. Over the last several months, our team here at RuralVote.org has recruited over 4,000 volunteers in 750 towns across five battle…

Despite all of the uncertainty -- we got this!

Even in these crazy times we know exactly what we need to do. John, Take a deep breath. We got this. It's true. With President Joe Biden announcing today that he is no longer seeking reelection, this election cycle is unlike any other in modern history. But even in these cra…

John, rural voters aren’t fooled by JD Vance...

John, Yes, we've been mailing you about yard signs, but we couldn't help but jump into the conversation now that Trump announced JD Vance as his vice-presidential nominee. In 2022, RuralVote.org launched a hard-hitting ad campaign to ensure that rural voters in Ohio knew all a…

Our rural battleground strategy for November

John, Tim Ryan (D) and J.D. Vance (R) are locked in a dead heat less than a month out from Election Day! This week, we're launching a hard hitting ad ensuring that rural voters in Ohio know all about JD Vance's shady connections to the opioid industry. When the race is this …

First step: get the message out to voters

All eyes are on Ohio, John. MAGA Republican JD Vance is trying to get elected to the Senate by posing as a hillbilly for Ohio. But JD Vance is no hillbilly. In fact, he worked for a law firm that lobbied for Purdue Pharma, the same company that exacerbated the opioid crisis.…
