On USA Today, I read an article about Trump's plans to nominate former Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue as secretary of Agriculture. The nomination is expected to happen on Thursday, the day before Trump's inauguration. Perdue and Trump has had a previous relationship before Trump was elected. During his campaign, Perdue was on Trump's agriculture advisory committee.

 "I told the president-elect Trump that I would be happy to serve from Georgia, where I am very happily living with my wife and 14 grandchildren, or I'd be happy to serve him if he thought I could be helpful to him here in D.C.", says Perdue.

Perdue, once a democrat state senator, ;switched parties and was elected Governor of Georgia from 2002 until 2011. He then created Perdue Partners which is an international trading company.
