In a new sketch video, the National Association of Counties (NACo) shares the central role of county governments in America, and the influence of federal policy on county governments. The video was premiered this week at the National Association of Counties Legislative Conference in Washington, DC.

As described by NACo,

America’s 3,069 county governments provide fundamental services for building healthy, safe and vibrant communities. Through the National Association of Counties, county governments engage federal policy makers on a range of issues like transportation, infrastructure, healthcare, public safety and public lands management. All of these issues are vital to our nation’s quality of life and long-term prosperity.
