U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. issued the following statement after voting to confirm Tom Vilsack as the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture.
"Secretary Tom Vilsack's background as a governor and of course as the former Secretary of Agriculture make him a good fit to lead the USDA during these unprecedented times for our farmers and ranchers," said Senator Marshall. "While we may have our differences on a handful of issues, I look forward to working hand-in-hand with Secretary Vilsack and the entire USDA team as we help Kansas producers navigate COVID-19 and as we look toward crafting the next farm bill."
