Focus On Rural America

Bridging the divide between Rural and Urban America by building support for a progressive economic agenda.

We advocated for candidates to close the margins in rural states and our latest poll showed it happening in WI. Glad to see our data track with the outcome. Here's to another more research and polling with @DavidBinder as we continue fighting for rural communities.

Thanks to Senators and Representatives like @amyklobuchar, funds for rural broadband are going far and wide. The #infrastructurebill will help millions of Americans expand education opportunities, grow their business and reach loved ones.

This commitment to rural is so needed and @POTUS is delivering every step of the way. In addition to the #InfrastructureBill and #BuildBackBetter, each year #NationalRuralHealthDay will call attention to rural health disparities and access to care. https://t.co/MM3XwNMwzc

House passage of @POTUS's #BuildBackBetter bill takes us one step closer to supporting hard-working American families. The tax relief, childcare assistance, and #RuralPartnershipProgram invest in our communities and support those who need it most.

At least 40% of students at Temple Uni. struggled with internet access during the pandemic. But help is on the way. $65 billion in the #InfrastructureBill will improve access to online education and more. https://t.co/VCIuJk9JIQ

“There is no broadband in certain spots, so that’s naturally going to be big for the rural folks and the lineman, the telecommunication workers—there’s really work for everybody and for a long time" #InfrastructureBill https://t.co/UnjSw6OAMX

Less than a third of us live in rural areas, yet our rural neighbors make up an outsize proportion of our military. Today and everyday, we're thankful for them, and for all who answered the call to serve.

Infrastructure, the environment and the economy. They all rely on each other and require investments for resiliency. @POTUS's #InfrastructureBill provides long-overdue resources to revitalize our communities and strengthen them for years to come.

Job growth, clean water and major investments in our hometowns are just a few of the benefits heading our way from the bipartisan #InfrastructureBill. Hat's off to @RuralJournalism for this great summary - https://t.co/RWdxEGcKXS

[Focus On Rural America @focusonrural]

Funds from the #AmericanRescuePlan are still heading directly to communities in need. While 2020 is behind us, the economic impacts of the pandemic are faced daily. Targeted roll-outs of these funds could create a big impact where it's needed.

At long last major investments are heading to states to expand high-speed internet! This move will increase access to each other and the goods that keep our economy thriving, making the #InfrastructureBill a big win for every community.

“You cannot lose rural counties by 65 or 70 percent and not still lose an election. We have got to do everything we can to try to drive down those margins. And that's hard...but it has to happen,” said Patty Judge.

Huge thx to @POTUS for delivering on the promise of the decade — a major #InfrastructureBill that will benefit all Americans:
$110 bn for roads & bridges
$66 bn for passenger and freight rail
$65 bn into broadband
$55 bn into water & replacing lead pipes

Rural towns need investments that increase our tax base, not take over our resources. Pass #BuildBackBetter so that we can rebuild and revitalize our hometowns. https://t.co/nbklJTVhJK

[Focus On Rural America @focusonrural]

The #InfrastructureBill and #BuildBackBetter invest in Main Streets across America. They provide the resources to build #rural #broadband, expand health insurance, improve housing stock and feed children all year round. It's time to pass this historic investment.

[Focus On Rural America @focusonrural]

Emergencies happen everywhere, but #rural communities pay an outsized portion of surprise bills when finding the closest possible #healthcare. For ambulance and out-of-network care, rural residents will get relief from the "No Surprises" bill. https://t.co/QfoqkZsJex

[Focus On Rural America @focusonrural]

It's time to improve rural America's housing stock. Let's make the investment to provide affordable, modern, energy-efficient and safe housing to all. Pass the #BuildBackBetter bill.

[Focus On Rural America @focusonrural]

.@POTUS's #BuildBackBetter framework meets kids' basic needs so they can succeed by expanding support for meals during the school year and summer. It also invests in the meal programs to continually improve the quality of nutrition our kids are getting, all year round.

[Focus On Rural America @focusonrural]

Rural America needs innovation and opportunities, but that's tough when the 1% are allowed to hoard wealth and power. It's good to see @POTUS & @linakhanFTC taking on that concentration to invest in Main St. and build back better. https://t.co/LISEIPb1lL

[Focus On Rural America @focusonrural]

With food bank lines stretching around the block during the pandemic, we can't afford another threat to a safe, affordable food supply. Farmers have a front-line role in fighting climate change, it's time we give them the tools to get to work. https://t.co/QZ8X9XVvTr

[Focus On Rural America @focusonrural]

Rural America deserves more than catchy slogans that value signal. The backbone of our food industry and the gateway to our natural heritage, rural communities support the nation and our values. It's time for sound policy to support our communities.

[The Daily Yonder @dailyyonder]

In a race for cheap political points scored through meaningless, but catchy, slogans politicians drag rural communities down. https://t.co/QW0SPmZHjP
