Secretary of Agriculture
On January 18, 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Perdue to be United States Secretary of Agriculture. The Senate committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry overwhelmingly approved his nomination on March 30, with a 19-1 vote. The sole vote against him came from Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). Senator David Perdue (R-GA) abstained, as he is the nominee’s first cousin. His nomination will receive the full senate vote on April 24
