WASHINGTON – Ranking Member Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (VA-03), House Committee on Education and Workforce, and Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education Subcommittee Ranking Member Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01), House Committee on Education and Workforce, raised concerns to Department of Agriculture Secretary (USDA) Brooke Rollins regarding the agency’s abrupt announcement to reorganize USDA. This follows harmful agency relocations under the first Trump Administration. This latest push occurs as families and farmers suffer critical food program disruptions because of failed Trump Administration policies.
“We are concerned that this abrupt announcement of the reorganization plan comes without full details or substantiation regarding how the reorganization would improve program operations and efficiency,” wrote the Members. “The process surrounding the reorganization plan has not been transparent, nor has the Department clearly articulated how it is handling input from farmers, community partners, anti-hunger advocates, and state and local officials.”
