Now, Maren is speaking out about the upcoming American e******n in a new, candid video posted to her social media accounts.
In her video, titled “America,” Maren emphasizes the importance of voting.
“Coming from a Southern family with a conservative background, throughout my childhood I was always taught to treat people with respect and dignity, no matter their race, their religion, their sexual orientation and, yes, even their political party,” Maren began.
“But like a lot of us, I’ve been in perpetual shock watching what’s happened to our country these last few years.”
She continued: “We’ve been divided and pitted against one another. We’ve seen the forces of hatred not just reserved for the awkward Thanksgiving dinner conversation with a crazy relative once a year, but out in the open, encouraged and supported by the president of the United States.”
Maren explained that being a new mom has opened her eyes to the importance of voting: “It wasn’t about just me anymore; it was about him, and all of our children’s futures in this country. What will they make of this moment 20 years from now”
“Now, I live in the world of country music, which has always been about telling the truth. And just like I believe that country music is for everyone, so is this country.
Maren explained her vote for Joe B***n was “because we need leadership that is kind, compassionate and that cares. Leadership that will unite us, to overcome this pandemic, to put us back to work again, end systemic racism, and work every day to ensure we leave this world to our kids in. better shape than we found it.”
