Democrats say the path to winning the House majority wends through the backroads and farmlands of rural America.
To that end, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee launched its first rural voter engagement program last year. And on Monday, it kicked off its “On the Dirt Road Again” summit in western North Carolina, where farmer Jamie Ager is running against two-term Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards. The party brought together local leaders and grassroots organizers for training and strategy sessions aimed at mobilizing rural voters across the 11th District.
