We are passionate about the places where we live and are deeply connected to the land that makes each of our communities unique. Our natural resources are a vital part of our economy, culture, and recreation. We need the federal government to partner with us and support our commitment to be responsible stewards and to grow our economy for the long term.
Issue Priorities
Conserve Our Natural Resources
A healthy environment is critical for rural residents and also to protect the resources on which everyone depends.
Steward Public Lands
Public lands matter to people all across the country. They provide recreation and family memories.
Establish a Rural Energy Plan
Reduce carbon emissions, create jobs, and lower energy costs.
Protect Clean Air, Water, and Soil
Giant corporations pollute rural communities, harming our health and damaging our lands, water, and air.
