Tuesday afternoon Gov. Tim Walz will reveal Vice President Kamala Harris's plan for rural voters during a stop in rural Pennsylvania. The plan has a large emphasis on rural health care, which includes loan forgiveness for doctors and nurses, expanding rural telehealth services and expanding ambulance services. The plan also includes building new streams of income for mid-sized farmers and producers.

MPR News host Cathy Wurzer talked to Matt Barron, a rural political strategist who worked on Walz’s congressional campaign in 2005 and is familiar with his record in rural Minnesota. Aaron Brown also joined the program. He is an author and instructor at Minnesota North College in Hibbing and a columnist for the Minnesota Star Tribune.
