All morning, Agriculture Secretary nominee Brooke Rollins has been in the hot seat before the Senate Ag Committee.
California Senator Adam Schiff had the chance to ask Rollins some questions, one including whether firefighters will receive necessary compensation for their work on the raging wildfires in the West if confirmed.
“100% yes. To watch the devastation in your beautiful state has been heartbreaking for all of us...I think that hopefully, if there’s any good that comes from this, if I’m confirmed, we can figure out how to be an even better, more impactful resource the next time this happens, and hopefully be able to work more closely, more quickly, with those on the ground across red states and blue states.”
