In the extra episode in our seventh series, "Courageous Conversations About the 2024 Elections," Michelle talks with Bryanta (Bre) Booker-Maxwell, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Rural Coalitions Director.
During this episode, Bre shares the impact of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act on rural communities, including addressing issues such as clean water, clean air, roads, bridges, and grants for rural areas. Michelle and Bre discuss the need for accessible and affordable healthcare in rural areas and how a Harris-Walz Administration will focus on strengthening Medicaid expansion, addressing rural hospital closures, and improving access to Obstetric services, focusing on the U.S. fast-growing rural OB deserts.
Michelle and Bre round out the conversation, touching on crucial priorities for the Harris-Walz Administration, including the importance of funding and supporting rural schools and the plans for the USDA and the Farm Bill. They also address Project 2024, programs such as Supplemental Nutrition and Food Programs, housing affordability, and the importance of making informed decisions in the upcoming election.
