Can clergy candidates help Democrats win in red states?
Original: Can clergy candidates help Democrats win in red states? : The Sunday Story
NPR's Sunday Story examines whether Democrats can improve their fortunes in Republican-leaning states by recruiting clergy members to run for office. The piece explores how pastoral backgrounds — community trust, moral authority and organizing experience — could resonate with voters who have moved away from the party, and whether faith-based candidates offer a path back into red-state politics.
Why now: Democrats are searching for new strategies to compete in reliably Republican states, making faith-based candidacies a timely question.
