The Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) is a government administration–focused service organization representing forty rural California counties. Based in Sacramento, it advocates on state and federal policy, aiming to reduce the burden of mandates and ensure policies account for the distinctive challenges of rural counties, such as geographic dispersion and lower population densities. The organization supports issues across land use, water and natural resources, housing, transportation, wildfire protection, and health and human services, providing a rural perspective to inform legislative and regulatory processes. Founded in 1972, RCRC coordinates with its board of Supervisors and staff to help small, rural California counties deliver services more effectively and maintain quality of life, with activity spanning Sacramento and Washington, D.C. Recent developments include recognition for its work in regional workforce initiatives and collaboration events focused on behavioral health and crisis response in rural regions.
