Mcomb, IL – A Congressional candidate says rural areas must have broadband access if they want to keep or attract business. Andrea Zinga says Institute for Rural Affairs studies show that half of all small businesses order products over the internet, and one-fourth sell over the 'net. Zinga says the institute has stated that broadband, high speed internet access can "level the playing field" between rural and small town business and urban businesses. Zinga faces Brian Gillaland and Jim Mowen on the Republican primary ballot.
