Washington -- The U.S. Senate today officially confirmed Brooke Rollins as the new secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, by a vote of 72-28. Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Geoff Cooper offered the following statement on Ms. Rollins's confirmation:
"Throughout the confirmation process, we were encouraged to hear Secretary Rollins state that renewable fuels like ethanol will be big part of President Trump's energy dominance strategy and that she will defend and elevate all sources of American-made energy. At a time when the farm economy is struggling, we encourage Secretary Rollins to use all of the tools in USDA's toolbox to open and expand markets for ethanol and its valuable co-products. Indeed, the best way to boost rural America is to boost renewable fuels, and we are confident Secretary Rollins will continue USDA's legacy of supporting this quintessential American industry.
"We look forward to working with Secretary Rollins to help ensure that lower-cost, cleaner-burning ethanol remains a vital part of our liquid fuel mix into the future, supporting energy independence and the rural economy."
