YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Department of Agriculture can lead U.S. policy in restoring rural America, agriculture secretary nominee Brooke Rollins said during her confirmation hearing on Thursday.
In responding to a question from Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn., Rollins said she wanted to build a program for “revivfying, restoring and bringing back rural America.”
She added the federal government can’t do it alone but that the Department of Agriculture “can lead that effort.”
Rollins appeared before the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
A former White House aide, Rollins served as President Donald Trump’s domestic policy chief during his first administration as well as general deputy counsel and policy advisor for former Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Missing ethics materials and financial disclosures delayed Rollins’ confirmation hearing.
