WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) met with former Governor Sonny Perdue, nominee for Secretary of Agriculture, in his Washington, D.C. office today.

“I enjoyed meeting with Governor Perdue and hearing more about the way he would approach leading the Department of Agriculture,” said Sen. Moran. “There are very few positions on the federal level with greater impact on the daily lives of millions of Americans than that of the Ag Secretary, and I made that clear to Governor Perdue today. I believe his extensive background as an advocate for Georgia’s agricultural producers, a veterinarian and an agribusiness owner gives him a clear understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing farmers and ranchers in Kansas and across the country.”
