Senate ag committee unanimously advances Rollins nomination

The Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry voted 23-0 in favor of advancing Brooke Rollins’ nomination for secretary of agriculture. She must now clear a full Senate vote before officially being installed at USDA.

“Thank you to the entire United States Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry for their 23-0 support of my nomination to be the next U.S. Secretary of Agriculture,” Rollins said in a social media post shortly after the vote. “I’m grateful for Chairman Boozman and Ranking Member Klobuchar’s leadership in advancing my nomination, and I’m eager for full Senate consideration.”
