WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) issued the following statement after voting to confirm Brooke Rollins to serve as the next Secretary of Agriculture:
“Brooke Rollins understands firsthand the challenges facing rural America and will work day in and day out to support our West Virginia farmers, ranchers, and growers. That’s one of the many reasons I was proud to vote to confirm her to serve as our next Agriculture Secretary. I look forward to working with Secretary Rollins and the Trump administration to protect our family farms, grow our rural communities, and put American agriculture first,” Senator Capito said.
Senator Capito previously met with Rollins in December 2024 to discuss her nomination and learn more about her vision to lead the department.
