John—In case you missed it, we wanted to make sure you saw the email that Tedra sent yesterday about her new organization, Backroads PAC.

Backroads PAC will support Democrats in rural districts. Together we can expand the map and compete against Republicans everywhere.

This is a grassroots movement, and Tedra is relying on you to power our efforts. Can you chip into Backroads PAC today?

John,

During my Congressional campaign, you helped us build a powerful grassroots movement. Even though I am no longer a candidate, I want to make sure that our movement continues.

That’s why today, I’m launching Backroads PAC to support rural Democrats around the country as they take on Republican incumbents. The violence at the Capitol shows us why it’s more important than ever to defeat Republicans in every district.

I know first-hand how Democrats in rural areas have been left behind for decades, lacking infrastructure, organization, and resources. Our top priority is to change this cycle by partnering with, endorsing, and funding rural Democratic candidates running for federal office.

You have generously supported my campaign in the past. Will you continue to show your support by becoming a Backroads PAC Founding Donor today?

The overwhelming majority of Republicans who voted to overturn the results of a free and fair election represent rural communities. By electing Democrats who support our values, we will ensure that these Republicans never hold office again.

The Backroads PAC’s model is simple, we will:

• Identify, vet, and endorse rural Democrats in competitive districts.
   
• Provide training and infrastructure support for endorsed candidates and campaigns.
   
• Give financial support to endorsed candidates.

If you have any capacity, would you support our mission by chipping in what you can?

Here’s the bottom line: No matter which backroad you take, the final destination is progress. I’m excited to see the progress we will achieve together.

Gratefully,

Tedra
