- In Portland today, @chelliepingree and I met with producers and shared with them how the Biden-Harris Administration is investing historic funding into rural communities to help them thrive, increase revenue, and build more resilient operations.
- At @USDA, we know how devastating severe weather can be to farming operations. I spoke with producers in Maine about the storm damage they experienced in December and how @USDA can help their operations recover.
- Through the Emergency Rural Health Care Grant Program, the Biden-Harris Administration invested over $3 million to make it easier and more convenient for rural New Hampshire residents to access health care services without having to make long drives or delay care.
- The Biden-Harris Administration has devoted significant resources through the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act to help rural communities access health care services, connect to reliable internet, and rebuild crumbling infrastructure.
- This morning, I was at @UofNH in Durham talking with Granite Staters about how @POTUS’ Investing in America agenda is building more prosperous, resilient rural communities.
