Ag Secretary-Starling Pt 1
From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson. Brooke Rollins is President Trump’s new Secretary of Agriculture, after being confirmed by the Senate Ag Committee last Thursday.
Ray Starling, who served as chief of staff to Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue in the previous Trump administration, and as Trump's principal ag advisor, has nothing but high praise for Rollins …
STARLING … “Rollins is a superstar. She's going to be absolutely fantastic. She grew up in Glen Rose, Texas, around agriculture. She was an avid FFA member. She was an outstanding student leader at one of the country's largest land grants, Texas A&M University. You do not become the student body president at Texas A&M by being a person that is not smart and is also not a good person, like in her heart, I mean, just a good person. She's got four kids, so she cares about how to feed them and how to take care of them.”
Filling the post as Secretary of Agriculture, Starling says Rollins is uniquely qualified to serve …
STARLING … “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.”
Tune in tomorrow to hear more from former Trump Ag Advisor Ray Starling on what he thinks about our new Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins.
