Part of a Series

From the increasing effects of climate change on crops and communities to the shuttering of farms, schools, and hospitals, rural communities have been hurting and require solutions and investment. This year at the CAP Ideas Conference, Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) shared his view of how policymakers can listen to and address the concerns of rural Americans.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
