Duluth News Tribune reports…
Former New York City mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg ventured into rural Minnesota on a campaign stop to discuss the issues pressing rural America’s farmers.
Apparently broadband was one hot topic…
According to a Tuesday news release from Bloomberg’s campaign, Wells was one of three campaign stops Bloomberg made on Wednesday, in addition to Chicago and Akron, Ohio. He aimed to tout his economic proposal, which he says will “bring more opportunities to people and places that have been shortchanged by Donald Trump,” both rural and urban, by increasing the minimum wage, prioritizing training and education and investing in rural broadband.
