#Thread Below is a statement from Sarah Jaynes, a key advisor to the Winning Jobs Narrative project and the Executive Director of the Rural Democracy Initiative: 1/11 #RuralDemocracyInitiative

Voters in small cities and rural communities are working people, through and through. They believe in their communities and in this country, even when the country fails to prioritize them and rural economies struggle. 2/11 #RuralVoters #DemPriorities #WorkingAmerica

Some right wing leaders have tried to exploit the economic anxiety that many rural Americans justifiably feel.But the Biden Administration & current Congressional majority have taken action with the greatest investments in rural America in the last 50 years. 3/11 #DemPriorities

These policies will take time to implement, but they will begin to give rural people who have been long overlooked the tools and opportunities they need to build a good life. 4/11 #DemPriorities #RuralAmerica #InvestInAmerica

Like all working people, #ruralAmericans understand how important their work is to the success of our economy. And rural working people, from those who put in long hours on farms, to small businesses to rural health clinics, are proud of their work. 5/11 #DemPriorities

They see it as a way they contribute to their community and take care of their family. For too long, the right wing has dominated the narrative around work and found ways to drive wedges that are contrived for political gain & that we cannot allow to persist. 6/11 #RuralAmerica

Winning Jobs Narrative research shows that working people across race and geography, especially in rural America, fundamentally agree on key things that underlie a progressive economic agenda. 7/11 #RuralVoters #DemPriorities

#RuralVoters are sick and tired of policies that allow giant multinational corporations to run #familyfarmers out of business and pollute local communities. 8/11 #DemPriorities

#RuralVoters understand that years of corporate outsourcing has robbed communities of good jobs and made our supply chains vulnerable, raising costs for #workingfamilies. 9/11 #DemPriorities #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

#RuralVoters see that many corporations are making record profits and still raising prices on families simply because they can. 10/11

And, beyond inflation and price gouging, #ruralAmericans believe that our government should play a role in lowering costs of everything from #healthcare to #energybills &that billionaires &giant corps should pay the taxes they owe in order to pay for that 11/11 #DemPriorities
