Today\u2019s our first extra pod leading up to the midterms and I\u2019m thrilled to have it be with Senatorial candidate for South Dakota Brian Bengs. And you might think, a Democrat in South Dakota? Whaaaat? But, yes, we have to stop\xa0ceding rural territories and states to Republicans.\xa0The heartland used to be a stronghold for the Democrats, but there\u2019s been a\xa0growing, and perhaps self fulfilling,\xa0belief\xa0that the Democratic Party can\u2019t compete in rural America, and that\u2019s just not true. South Dakota might be a red state, but Brian, JAG lawyer,\xa0professor and\xa0career veteran of both the US Navy & the Air Force\xa0is truly resonating with the people of his state.\xa0Polling and surveys\xa0shows that when voters are presented with head to head profiles\xa0between Bengs & current Senator John Thune,\xa0Bengs\xa0wins every time. We just need\xa0to give him the support to make sure people see him as a real contender.\xa0\n\xa0\nGuest social:\nhttps://bengsforsenate.com\nTwitter:\xa0@BrianBengs\n\xa0\nPlease RATE and SUBSCRIBE so we can grow the show, open the dialogue, and inspire change moving forward!\n\xa0\nAll\xa0show\xa0links here!:\xa0https://linktr.ee/politicsgirl
