The challenges he faced as a Progressive Democrat)

Ferrence discusses the challenges he faced as a Progressive
Democrat running in a conservative rural district, where he
contended with an established incumbent. We explored his campaign
experience, the polarized nature of today’s politics, and the
common values he believes unite people on both sides—such as a
desire for affordable housing, lower taxes, and quality
healthcare.

Ferrence also opens up about his health struggle with a brain tumor
and the burdensome medical expenses he incurred despite having
solid health insurance. He reflects on why more people hesitate to
run for office, the neglect of rural communities in politics, and
the need to restore civility in political discourse—especially
given the hostility and threats he encountered.
