Hoosier Democrats reaching out to small town voters on statewide tour

The Indiana Democratic Party is planning to venture into communities across the state where few Democratic votes typically are recorded on Election Day.

Over the next several weeks, Democratic Party leaders and former statewide elected officials are set to visit more than a dozen localities on a "Small Town, Indiana" tour touting the advantages of Democratic policies, particularly on education and agriculture.

"Democrats have delivered since day one of Joe Biden's presidency, and we are ready to fan out across the state to share with families how policies like the American Rescue Plan have fully funded Indiana's public schools and expanded broadband internet access," Schmuhl said.

2. Agreed.

Democrats must venture into the rural areas if we want to reverse the losses in state elections that we have taken. If we get to the point that we are taking 45% of the rural vote, then the suburban and urban votes should get us across the finish line.
