Red state Democrat, recovering lawyer, and the co-founder/ED of Every State Blue. I help Democrats fight everywhere, one "small deed" at a time. Here you'll find personal stories, political commentary, and a healthy dose of inspiration.
My name is Jess and I was a high school Literature teacher for 16 years until I decided to run as a Democrat in a rural, red district in Missouri. I bring you news and politics from Missouri and beyond from a rural progressive point of view.
This is the home of the 'On Democracy with FPWellman' community where we discuss the issues of today, lessons from the past, and Fred's campaign for Congress in Missouri's 2nd District.
