Last week, NV Dems Chair Daniele Monroe-Moreno concluded a bi-weekly virtual rural press call series that featured U.S Senator Jacky Rosen, Congressman Steven Horsford, Douglas County Dems Chair, Lori McKimmey, and NV Dems Native Caucus Chair Teresa Melendez — to provide an opportunity for rural press to engage directly with NV Dems and rural voters to hear and see more from the Democratic party about the issues that matter most to their communities.
The rural press call series builds on NV Dems’ statewide Kitchen Table Tour that stretched across all 17 counties and focused on rural communities and the kitchen table issues that matter most to hardworking Nevadans such as protecting Social Security and Medicare, addressing the affordable housing crisis, lowering costs, veterans’ needs, and climate action.
