Description: Grounded: A Senator's Lessons on Winning Back Rural America by Jon Tester An inspiring and eye-opening memoir showing how Democrats can reconnect with rural and red-state voters, from Montanas three-term democratic senator Senator Jon Tester is a rare voice in Congress. He is the only United States senator who manages a full-time job outside of the Senate--as a farmer. But what has really come to distinguish Tester in the Senate is his commitment to accountability, his ability to stand up to Donald Trump, and his success in, time and again, winning red state voters back to the Democratic Party. In Grounded, Tester shares his early life, his rise in the Democratic party, his vision for helping rural America, and his strategies for reaching red state voters. Leaning deeply into lessons on the value of authenticity and hard work that he learned growing up on his familys 1,800-acre farm near the small town of Big Sandy, Montana--the same farm he continues to work today with his wife, Sharla--Tester has made his political career a testament to crossing the divides of class and geography. The media and Democrats too often discount rural people as Trump supporters; Tester knows better. His voice is vital to the public discourse as we seek to understand the issues that are important to rural and working-class America in not just the 2020 election but also for years to come. A heartfelt and inspiring memoir from a courageous voice, Grounded shows us that the biggest threat to our democracy isnt a president who has no moral compass. Its politicians who dont understand the value of accountability and hard work. Tester demonstrates that if American democracy is to survive, we must put our trust in the values that keep us grounded. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Review Quote "Why do most Democrats keep faring so poorly in rural America? Mr. Tester, a farmer from Big Sandy, Mont. -- and the only full-time farmer in the Senate -- has a few ideas. He lays them out at length in Grounded, a memoir that doubles as a policy manifesto."
