Cumberland County Commissioner Marshall Faircloth has been reappointed to the Rural Action Caucus (RAC) by the president of the National Association of Counties (NACo). This appointment recognizes Commissioner Faircloth’s ongoing leadership, dedication and advocacy on behalf of rural communities across the nation.

As a RAC member, Faircloth will continue working alongside other county leaders from across the country to address critical issues impacting rural America, including economic development, broadband expansion, infrastructure, healthcare access and workforce challenges.

The appointment came with a personal message from NACo President, J.D. Clark, who, according to a press release, praised Commissioner Faircloth’s "unwavering commitment and exemplary dedication to NACo." The Association’s President also noted this year’s initiative, “County Storytellers,” which aims to elevate local voices and narratives to inspire trust and connection among communities.

“I’m honored to once again serve on NACo’s Rural Action Caucus and represent Cumberland County at the national level,” said Commissioner Marshall Faircloth in a press release. “Our rural communities face unique challenges, but they are also full of promise. I look forward to working with my colleagues to share our stories, highlight local successes, and advocate for solutions that make a real difference.”
