NCGA on Ag Undersecretary Nominee Taylor: No Better Person for Position

Fri, 13 May 2022 16:32:07 CDT

President Biden announced today that he is appointing Alexis Taylor as undersecretary for trade and U.S. agricultural affairs at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.



Taylor, currently the director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture, has extensive experience working on agricultural issues.



"I have known Alexis in a professional capacity for well over a decade, and she is someone with a deep understanding of agriculture, particularly as it relates to foreign markets, and she is widely respected by policymakers on both sides of the aisle," said Brooke S. Appleton, vice president of public policy at the National Corn Growers Association. "I cannot think of a better person to represent the Biden administration on this issue."



Taylor has served as a policy expert on ag issues for several members of Congress on Capitol Hill and managed the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services. An Iraq veteran, Taylor grew up in Iowa on her family's 160-year-old farm.



Taylor's nomination will now go before the Senate for final confirmation.
