President-elect Donald Trump chose Brooke Rollins as his nominee for the next Secretary of Agriculture.
Rollins is a graduate of Texas A&M University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture development.
She grew up in the small agriculture-centered town of Glen Rose, Texas, while spending years in leadership involvement with FFA and 4-H.
“Her commitment to support the American farmer, defense of American food self-sufficiency, and the restoration of agriculture-dependent small towns in America is second to none,” the President-elect said.
“As the next Secretary of Agriculture, Brook will spearhead the effort to protect American farmers, who are truly the backbone of our country.”
Rollins was on Trump’s 2016 Economic Advisory Council and worked as the Director of the Domestic Public Policy Council.
Rollins has also spent the past four years as the Founder and CEO of the American First Policy Institute and America First Works.
