RuralVotes is dedicated to energizing and building a solid rural constituency, promoting initiatives and ideas supporting the revitalization of rural America. Much of our nation's wealth and many of our greatest leaders are products of rural America. But lack of foresight in public policy has resulted in less opportunity, lower real wages and a lack of economic growth in many rural communities.

 

The places and faces of rural America are changing. An increasingly diverse population calls rural America home. 55 million rural Americans live on 80 percent of the land in the United States. Rich in natural resources, rural citizens share core values of community, hard work, family and faith. It's all about moving forward, and striking a balance between preserving valued tradition and making progress.


RuralVotes is working hard for a more vibrant rural America. Join us.
