I wrote about @BenyaKraus and @LeadForAmerica_ for @WSJ back in March 2021—we talked about that article a bit during our conversation! wsj.com/articles/small-town-…
Grateful for an incredible conference at @UChiPolitics, considering the needs of both urban and rural communities, and the work to be done in caring for them. Thankful, too, to finally meet @BenyaKraus in person, and to discuss the importance of place with her!
