5 reasons to invest in rural America...
The path to the Senate runs through rural America. 5 of the 7 likely Senate battleground states have rural populations of 20% or more.
Progressives share common ground with rural voters. Issues like healthcare, immigration and public safety.
Republicans do not own the rural vote. In 2018 the rural vote swung towards Dems 6%. Rural youth swung towards Dems by 25%.
Dems have made inroads with rural voters + helped swing elections. The increase in the rural vote for Biden in 2020 over Clinton in 2016 exceeded his statewide margin of victory in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Rural does not equal white. 20% of rural voters are people of color. Grassroots organizing can help give them greater voice.
Let’s support this emerging movement of rural women, people of color, and young voters that is creating change in rural areas and can help us win in 2022. Register and Donate to the Rural Victory Fund!
