Who We Are
We are a team of rural Democrats across the country working to turn out our neighbors, friends, and family to vote Blue. Founded by Mike Ward, a former Congressman from Kentucky, Associate Director of the Peace Corps, and veteran Democratic strategist, Blue Wave America has been focused since day one on expanding this long-forgotten Democratic constituency.

Former Congressman, founder of Blue Wave America
“When I represented Louisville, KY in Congress, I saw firsthand how Republicans under Newt Gingrich began working to dismantle democracy and how they have made the lives of rural Americans so much harder. That's why I started Blue Wave America—I know there are still Democrats we can turn out in deep red counties. We did it in 2022 and we are doing it full-steam for 2024.”
