Agriculture is vital to the Yellowhammer State. In fact, the agriculture industry boasts over 500,000 jobs and brings in more than $70 billion total a year to Alabama.
Alabama 4th District U.S. Congressman Robert Aderholt knows this well. A member of the powerful House Committee on Appropriations, Aderholt serves as chairman of the Subcommittee on Agriculture, where he supports greater transparency, accountability and oversight to the appropriations process.
Thus when Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump named Aderholt to his new agricultural advisory committee on Tuesday, one can’t help but think it’s a natural fit.
Trump, looking to improve public opinion with voters across the country, especially in rural swing states, named over 60 members to the newly formed committee.
Tasked with pioneering new ideas to strengthen America’s agricultural industry, the committee also will provide support to our rural communities.
Aderholt is the second member of Alabama’s Congressional delegation to serve as a Trump adviser. Alabama U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, an early Trump supporter, was tapped to advise the nominee on foreign policy and immigration earlier this year.
