Since Collin Peterson chairs the House Agriculture Committee, we asked his staff for a statement about President elect Obama's nomination of former Iowa governor Tom Vilsack. This just in:
"I congratulate former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack on his nomination for
Secretary of Agriculture. Governor Vilsack is a strong advocate who
understands the changing landscape of our nation's rural economy. I
look forward to working with him and President-elect Obama in advancing
food, conservation and energy policies that are in the best interest of
American agriculture and the American people."
