For decades Rural Democrats have witnessed the hollowing out of their communities and the ripping apart of their social fabric. We - as a Party - need to recognize that we are not in a holding pattern; our work requires innovation, sensitivity, and service, not simply the extraction of votes.
There are moments when, as Rural Democrats, we want to pack it all up. But we cannot turn away just because the work isn’t easy.
Rural communities are worth fighting for.
Rural GroundGame started in 2019 out of a necessity to deliver support and resources to 14 scrappy, determined candidates. We never forget where we started and who made our first steps possible. In 2021, we were honored to support another cohort of inspiring candidates and to begin the process of expanding our vision to a long term, year round approach to bolster morale, expand our reach and empower rural Dems with more resources and opportunities for collaboration.
With 909 days between now and November 5, 2024, we are determined to link arms with as many partners as we can find to build capacity and make electoral gains.
We need your support. Your dollars will go directly to funding projects to not only recruit and train candidates and campaign staff but to also start the work of rehabilitating our Party’s very damaged brand in rural spaces.
$250 - can fund a rural radio campaign for a month.
$500 - can fund the purchase of rural yard signs
$750 - can fund the campaign literature for a rural school board candidate.
