House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn “GT” Thompson (PA-15) issued the following statement after the United States Senate confirmed Stephen Vaden to serve as Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
“Deputy Secretary Vaden is a seasoned professional with deep familiarity with both the Department and rural America, and I congratulate him on confirmation. I look forward to working with him and USDA leadership on behalf of America’s hardworking farmers, ranchers, foresters, producers, and rural communities. I urge the Senate to move quickly and confirm the rest of President Trump’s USDA nominees so that Secretary Rollins and Deputy Secretary Vaden have their full team as they Make Agriculture Great Again.”
