USDA picks up Rep. Rooney press secretary

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 14, 2017

The U.S. Department of Agriculture picked up a new press secretary from the office of Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.), just days after Rooney met with Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue at an event in Florida.

Meghan Rodgers had worked for Rooney since 2015, most recently as his communications director. The Villanova University graduate has also worked for Rep. Pat Meehan (R-Pa.).

Over the August recess, Rooney and Perdue attended a number of agriculture events together in Florida.
