As the government shutdown enters the start of its third week, it seems that as a country we are more divided than ever before. However, a new study from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation shows that Americans share more common ground than not.
The New Jersey-based non-profit conducted a recent study across all ages, income levels and political affiliations. According to their findings, Americans overwhelmingly place access to healthcare, affordable housing, and clean water as top priorities.
Radio Catskill’s Genevieve Hartnett spoke with Lauren Smith M.D., Vice President of Strategic Portfolios at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation about the findings of this study and what candidates in local election races in Sullivan County and in next year’s midterm elections should be prioritizing in their platforms.
