A new non-profit “dedicated to highlighting the negative impacts of President Trump’s policies in rural America” today announced its first inroads into Wisconsin.
Rural America 2020, a 501(c)(4) organization, unveiled members of its Wisconsin steering committee, a group it says is committed to “leading the charge to highlight the negative impact of Trump administration policies on rural communities.”

The steering committee includes:
*Mindy Walker, a former lobbyist and aide to Gov. Jim Doyle;
*Darin Von Ruden, a dairy farmer and president of the Wisconsin Farmers Union board of directors;
*Sachin Shivaram, CEO of the Manitowoc-based Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry;
*Gary Sherman, a former Appeals Court judge and Assembly Dem from Port Wing;
