Dems Dream of the Rural Life w/Dee Davis #ColonelsOfTruth Ep. 226
Description
This week, Aaron and Kim bring you some developments in key federal races we’re watching right now, and an exciting update on union organizing here in KY. THEN, very excited to be joined by Dee Davis, the Director of the Center for Rural Strategies, perhaps best known st the organization who publishes the Daily Yonder - a great, rural-focused news website - as Democrats realize they have been largely shut out by rural voters, and start putting time into connecting with these communities, we’ll hear from Dee if he thinks they’re barking up the wrong tree, of if there are some approaches they should consider to be successful.
