If you’re gonna brand yourself as rural, I would suggest finding a different address than Park Avenue in NYC

@90For90 @ruralvadems One would think you would be more concerned about the weather in California where you live than assuming we don’t know happened where we live?? Where we live!

@peteymca Happy birthday!!

[roberta thacker-oliver @roberta_leedems]

@Fritschner @KamalaForVA Yes, the newly formed Cumberland Clinch YDs in SWVA spent the day out knocking doors in their hometown! Super proud to mentor this chapter! 💙💙💙

@RuralGroundGame @DominicHar61225 @dkeith8367 @SWVAYoungDems @KamalaHQ @timkaine We couldn’t do this work without you, thank you for everything!!

[roberta thacker-oliver @roberta_leedems]

@LynleeGThorne @dkeith8367 Hey now!! The no was only because I wasn’t ready to Hootennny! We always have had the day

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Growing up, I learned to be generous toward my neighbors, compromise without compromising my values, and to work for the common good.

@KamalaHarris and I both believe in that common good – in that fundamental promise of America. We’re ready to fight for it. And like she says: when we fight, we win.

UPDATE: As of 9pm ET, grassroots supporters have raised $46.7 million through ActBlue following Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign launch. This has been the biggest fundraising day of the 2024 cycle. Small-dollar donors are fired up and ready to take on this election 🔥

@peteymca @chuckcwa2204 Whoever thought we weren’t? 😊

Thank you to the Democratic Party of Virginia for beginning their DPVA on the Road training meeting tour in SWVA in Bristol! What an outstanding evening with good friends! #SWVA

[roberta thacker-oliver @roberta_leedems]

@Neal0sborne Preach my friend! 💙

[roberta thacker-oliver @roberta_leedems]

@MaryRarick @dkeith8367 @DonScott757 Never!! 😂😂😂

[roberta thacker-oliver @roberta_leedems]

@DonScott757 Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with us today! I appreciate you and look forward to your voice helping to represent us from SWVA.

[Speaker Don Scott @SpeakerDonScott]

Mellanda and also met with Chair @roberta_leedems and other members of the Virginia Dems Rural Caucus. We were grateful that you all took the time to share your thoughts and concerns with us. Thank you to everyone in Southwest, VA & I look forward to seeing you all again soon!

[Lynlee Thorne @LynleeGThorne]

I’m convinced that you meet the best people in the whole damn world doing this work in the wilderness in the places “not worth investing in”.

Home is always worth fighting for, no matter where that is.

[roberta thacker-oliver @roberta_leedems]

If you aren’t paying attention to young people in SWVA you are missing out! Russell County Dems Chair Dustin Keith, Vice-Chair Brandi Hurley and Big Stone Gap Town-councilman Tyler Hughes are doing big things in SWVA! All three were selected as visionaries of SWVA. 💙

[Dustin Keith 🍉 @dkeith8367]

Russell County Democrats had a great first meeting of 2023, hearing from Team @DeV4Congress, discussing local and state races, and a Call to Action to support @EqualityVA in defeating anti-trans bills in the General Assembly! Also had to show SWVA support for @JennMcClellanVA!

[roberta thacker-oliver @roberta_leedems]

What a great evening at the Russell County VA Democratic Committee meeting! Thank you @dkeith8367 for giving me time on your packed agenda to talk about how we can continue to move the needle in SWVA and the importance of staying true to our @Democratic values!

[Lynlee Thorne @LynleeGThorne]

Apparently, Dems can stop losing in rural areas by simply abandoning all our core values and then start losing as Libertarians instead.

Performative, shape-shifting PR stunts are the answer. (Hey, it’s better than actual work!)

(Absolutely a subtweet at some fresh batshit.)
