Biden will choose a new secretary of agriculture to replace Sonny Perdue as head of the Department of Agriculture. It’s one of 15 departments in the executive branch of the U.S. government. Department heads, usually called secretaries, also serve as members of the president’s cabinet.
There seems to be some agreement that these three women are the top contenders:
- Heidi Heitkamp
- Marcia Fudge
- Cheri Bustos
Other names that have come up are:
- Krysta Harden
- Amy Klobuchar
- Collin Peterson
- Chellie Pingree
- Karen Ross
- Michael Scuse
I wonder why Tom Kirkman didn’t get a nod. He did a bang-up job on Designated Survivor.
