GOP Governors: Sonny Perdue Has The Experience Necessary To Succeed As Secretary of Agriculture

WASHINGTON D.C. – Republican governors, led by RGA Chairman Governor Scott Walker, delivered a letter today to U.S. Senator Pat Roberts and the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, in support of former Governor Sonny Perdue’s appointment to serve as America’s next Secretary of Agriculture.

Governor Sonny Perdue has our full support for Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture.

Governor Perdue has a long and personal history in agriculture, and his executive leadership as a Governor over a large agricultural state provides the management and expertise needed to be the next secretary of agriculture.

Clearly, Governor Perdue would hit the ground running. Farm organizations have lent support to Governor Perdue because they know, like we do, that he will prioritize this critical sector of our nation’s economy that provides for so many families.
