“President Trump is putting Farmers First, and so is the incredible team we are building at the Department of Agriculture. Our latest additions to the USDA family are personally invested in ensuring farmers and rural America prosper. I look forward to seeing the work they will do supporting farmers, ranchers, and producers across the country by implementing President Trump’s America First policies.” Said USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins.

“It has been an honor and privilege to have worked with Charles all of these years. He has not only been a strong resource on industry & legislative issues, but a good friend as well. In addition, and perhaps more importantly, his work has made a tremendous impact at National REIA and our local apartment association. While we are sad to see him go, we certainly wish him well on his new & exciting mission with the USDA and the Trump Administration. We are proud to have worked with him and glad to know he will be working to make a stronger America.” Said Rebecca McLean, Executive Director of National REIA.
