A member of President Trump’s circle is weighing in on Brooke Rollins’ nomination.
Ray Starling served as Chief of Staff for Sonny Perdue and was an ag advisor during Trump’s first term.
He has nothing but support for Rollins and says her relationship with Trump will be a tremendous asset.
“Part of being the Secretary of Agriculture or of being any cabinet secretary is knowing how to navigate the relationships with other secretaries, and most importantly, the relationship with the President. Brooke has that she has been a part of the policy apparatus the America First policy institute has been its leader. So it tells you she’s got these management skills, she’s got this policy capability. But most importantly, she’s got the relationships so that if the ag community needs the president’s ear, Brooks going to be able to deliver on that.”
Other nominees are also waiting for their time before committees, and that includes Robert F Kennedy Jr., who Trump tapped to run Health and Human Services. Starling says Rollins will help him guide policy.
