💨 Abstract

The Kentucky Democratic Party launched a "Rural Listening Tour" in Johnson County, a traditionally Republican area. The goal is to engage with rural voters who have largely shifted towards the Republican Party, a crucial step for Democrats seeking to regain political power. At a town hall, voters expressed frustration with Republican policies, particularly concerning education, healthcare, and economic issues. While the event was primarily attended by Democrats, it aims to lay groundwork for future engagement and narrow Republican margins.
