The Clinton Campaign today named Joy Philippi of Bruning a Co-Chair of Rural Americans for Hillary.

"Hillary's record of fighting for the farmers and rural families of upstate New York and her deep understanding of the challenges facing family farms make her the clear choice for our community," Philippi said. "She has the strength and experience to bring the real change rural America needs."
