When we say rural - do we only mean bible belt and Southern States?
My district flipped last year after 38 years of a GOP House Rep.
Some of what we used?
Demonizing those people in square states who take too much our money that could go towards expanding public transportation to Hunterdon County.
The county is Have and Have not - but most NJ voters are keenly aware that for every $1 they send to DC - they only get $.62 back.
What I would hate to see is a Democratic Presidential Candidate who plays to Nebraska and Alabama, at the expense of my House seat. Hunterdon County has more in common with Bucks County PA, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio farmers - than they do with deeply religious farmers who vote "morals and God". One in particular (farmer - former GOP) who smirked about soy beans vs feeding people and so . . . They deserve what they did to themselves with Trump.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
