Ag Secretary nominee Brooke Rollins will soon have her time in the hot seat. A short time ago, Senate Ag leaders scheduled her confirmation hearing.
Rollins will appear before the Senate Ag Committee on January 23rd at 10:00 AM Eastern, a move that the ag industry has been waiting on for several weeks.
This all comes after more than 100 ag groups wrote the Senate last night, asking for a hearing to be scheduled. Other cabinet nominees have had hearings throughout Capitol Hill this week, but Rollins was not on the docket.
The groups also ask the full Senate to move quickly on a final vote. They cite Rollins’ ag experience and say she will work closely with President Trump to advance policies for farmers and ranchers.
