When Trump froze rural grants, he pulled the plug on clean water, broadband, and energy programs.

Rural residents are being used like diapers by the #GOP.

The #GOP wants to control what books your kids read, what your doctor can prescribe, and what rights your state can recognize.

That’s not freedom—it’s authoritarianism.

Trump and the #NCGOP talk “jobs,” but rural unemployment and underemployment keep rising.

Where are the factories? Where’s the support for small business?

Rural families need more than Republican bullshit—they need action.

Under Trump and the #NCGOP, rural residents face longer drives, higher bills, and fewer options. Trump mocks rural and the @NCGOP uses them like toilet paper.

Why do they svote red? Dems need to listen.

If you live in a red county, here’s the truth:

The #NCGOP has run your town for decades—and what do you have to show for it?

Closed schools. Fewer jobs. Higher costs.

Let’s talk about real change.

Trump’s trade wars wrecked markets for NC farmers.

Now he’s back, slashing rural energy funding and leaving family farms in the dust—again. We need leaders who grow opportunity, not chaos.

How tariffs once again threaten North Carolina farmers

North Carolina pork, poultry, sweet potatoes, and soybeans are in demand around the world, but another round of tariffs have put them and farmers in jeopardy.

No broadband. No hospitals. No jobs. No disaster help. And STILL no plan from Trump or the GOP to fix rural infrastructure.

Shouting MAGA doesn't pave roads or connect homes.

Trump’s healthcare attack - a direct hit on rural America.
Hospital closures, frozen grants, and cuts to nutrition programs leave families with nowhere to turn. Rural deserves better.

The GOP screams about “states’ rights”… until your state does something they don’t like.
From abortion bans to education crackdowns, Trump’s crew is all about control—not freedom.

💙 You CAN win!!

Even if they say you can't. Even if it’s hard. Running in red districts isn’t about easy wins—it’s about showing up, building power, and changing what's possible.

📅 Make your own events.

If no one invites you to the table, build your own. Host a "Coffee with the Candidate" at a diner or park. Keep it casual. Keep it frequent.

Talk like a neighbor, not a pundit. This is local!

Ditch the buzzwords. Keep it plain: better schools, affordable healthcare, local jobs. You’re not selling a brand—you’re serving a community.

📸 Document everything.

Take photos at every event, canvass, or volunteer moment. Post them. Rural voters want to see that you’re working, listening, and present.

Red counties don’t have cable news—they have local radio, church bulletins, and high school football games. Show up. Call in. Get written about. Be everywhere.

🚪 Knocking on doors beats big ad buys.

You may not have TV money—but face-to-face is still the most powerful tool in politics. Show up on porches, listen, and connect. That’s how small campaigns win.

For your campaign, start with your people!

You don’t need 1,000 volunteers. You need 10 ride-or-dies who believe in your message and your town. Small campaigns win when they start local and stay loud.
