Giving Voice To Rural Districts. Steve Williamson and Karen McClelland welcome Judy Stahl, president of Arizona Democratic Women and founder of Voice for Values, a progressive non-partisan Political Action Committee that is focused on voter empowerment and government accountability.
After some success in the 2024 election cycle, Stahl says, “Now we are rolling out our Rural Revival Plan…we have thought about this long and hard, and traditionally these are districts that are overlooked by national party organizations and campaigns. They just don’t have the bandwidth; they just don’t have the money to focus on those areas. And it’s rare for rural districts to be targeted for resources for voter engagement efforts in elections. They’re often deemed, sadly, not worthy of investment.”
She explains, “We’re planning on focusing long-term on registering voters in these rural districts and, as our voter base expands, we are going to expand the number of rural districts that we adopt and focus on.”
