In case you can't read the article (I have a subscription)here are a few highlights.

The 70-year-old Perdue, a veterinarian by training, has deep ties to agribusiness. That helped him win over Trump, but it could also pose potential conflicts as he seeks confirmation to lead the sprawling $140 billion U.S. Department of Agriculture.

As governor, Perdue led the state through two recessions, providing a steady fiscal hand but infuriating fellow Republicans when he vetoed tax cuts. He also became immersed in a battle over whether the Confederate battle emblem should appear on the state flag.

But Perdue also brought a deep religious faith to the job: He resisted efforts to expand alcohol sales on Sunday, and when the state suffered a devastating drought, he led a vigil praying for rain.

Perdue has been largely out of the political spotlight since leaving office in 2010. His onetime protege, Nick Ayers, helped him land the Cabinet post. Now a top aide to Vice President-elect Mike Pence on Trump’s transition team, Ayers cut his political teeth on Perdue’s 2002 campaign and has been a longtime aide. “Georgia walks away with two of the most consequential Cabinet secretaries who happen to be the two most qualified for the job,” said Ayers, who is married to a cousin of Perdue’s and was a finalist to lead the Republican National Committee.

Another of the former governor’s cousins, millionaire businessman David Perdue, is the junior U.S. senator from Georgia and has been a vocal Trump backer.

All I can say to all this is, I apologize to all of you for the State I live in is providing these idiots to the WHCabinet

2. Thanks. I need the support just to maintain a degree of sanity! My entire neighborhood is RED!

I'm really tired having to watch my every word when some idiot makes a political remark, usually pro Con and anti Dem.

I''m sooo out numbered, it would be foolish of me to try to asggue with any of them.

He actually knows something about agriculture, so thank you Georgia.
