Yes! He is very sensible.
Our small rural town is full of Republicans who want affordable healthcare, living wages, good schools, broadband access, clean water, and a good life for their families.
I served three terms on our town board, which made me open my ears and listen. Had no problem working with (almost) anyone. Our town passed referenda on Move to Amend and Fair Maps by overwhelming amounts.
Democrats must be open to rural America.
Thank you.
