President Biden has selected former House Ag Committee member Xochitl Torres Small as his pick for undersecretary of rural development at the USDA.
The White House said Torres Small has employed her experience organizing in vulnerable, rural communities to achieve lasting investments that combat persistent poverty.
Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says her nomination is in response to rural stakeholders and Congress, who have emphasized the importance of having a dedicate advocate for rural communities and her expertise will further USDA’s mission to advance equity and opportunity in and for rural America.
