In 2024, the Committee for Rural Engagement, a Political Action Committee (PAC), launched the Indiana Rural Summit, a tour organizing 12 House candidates representing 30 counties across south-central Indiana focused on key community issues like healthcare, housing, education, and jobs. The initiative highlighted how rural and “artificially rural” districts, shaped by gerrymandering, often isolate voters and suppress their voices in policymaking. By connecting across overlapping counties, the candidates created opportunities for collaborative, regional conversations that reflect the shared challenges rural communities face. This effort is turning the effects of gerrymandering into a strength by forming a regional coalition to uplift rural voices and address common concerns.
If you would like to donate by check, please make payable to The Committee for Rural Engagement.
