Texas native Brooke Rollins is the agriculture secretary nominee. President-Elect Donald Trump made the announcement Saturday after speculation surfaced Friday that former Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler was the pick. Rollins is the president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute. She grew up on a farm, graduated with a degree in agricultural development at Texas A&M University and was a White House policy advisor in Trump’s first term. When making the announcement, Trump said Rollins would “spearhead the effort to protect American farmers.”
