Former Colorado congressional candidate Adam Frisch recently ran for one of the Democratic National Committee’s at-large vice chair positions but lost after receiving only five votes. Frisch, who has experience running in rural districts, focused his campaign on the Democrats’ declining popularity in rural America. He argued that the party needs to focus on building winning coalitions and connecting with voters in these areas.
During his campaign, Frisch highlighted his experience driving through Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, covering 27 rural counties. Despite losing his bid for the DNC position, Frisch believes that his efforts to push the party to engage more with rural voters were important.
Frisch also shared advice for Democrats looking to challenge the Trump administration, suggesting that they focus on how policies affect individual people rather than constitutional or procedural objections. He emphasized the need for the party to connect on a personal level with voters and avoid getting lost in political jargon.
Although his bid for the DNC position was unsuccessful, Frisch remains committed to advocating for better rural outreach within the Democratic Party. He believes that the party’s focus on divisive issues and lack of interest in building winning coalitions are hindering its ability to connect with voters nationwide.
Frisch’s experience running in rural districts and commitment to pushing the party to engage with voters on a personal level make him a valuable voice within the Democratic Party. His insights could help the party reconnect with rural Americans and build a coalition to win back power nationally.
