This from our good friends at the Rural Urban Bridge Institute (RUBI):

Join us as we break down the midterm results and how rural counties and small towns voted. Our panel features three experts: Sarah Jaynes of Rural Democracy Initiative, Paul Kendrick of Rust Belt Rising, and Sarah Melotte of The Daily Yonder. Our executive director and co-founder, Anthony Flaccavento, will moderate with plenty of time for Q&A.

Sarah Jaynes is executive director of Rural Democracy Initiative, which supports more than 150 groups in 25 states advocating for people in rural communities, towns, and small cities. She grew up in a small town in Washington state and began her career organizing on climate issues in rural communities. Sarah led the development of one of the first state progressive donor networks and has spent 30 years working for shared prosperity, democracy, and a healthy environment.

Paul Kendrick is associate director of Rust Belt Rising, a research and training political organization in Wisconsin and five other Great Lakes states. He has held a range of political roles, including in the Obama White House, and co-authored Nine Days: The Race to Save Martin Luther King Jr.’s Life and Win the 1960 Election.

Sarah Melotte is a geographer and data journalist for The Daily Yonder, where she writes about rural America and produces most of the publication’s data visualizations, maps, graphics, and quantitative analyses. She has also written for the Kentucky Lantern and has a heart for thoughtful rural storytelling. She lives in western North Carolina.
