President Biden’s nomination to serve as Deputy Secretary of Agriculture at USDA makes a stop in Western Illinois. Xochitl (So-CHEEL) Torres Small currently serves as USDA Under Secretary for Rural Development.

Torres Small was in Galesburg last Friday where $18-million in ReConnect funds were announced for high speed broadband access to Hancock, Henderson, McDonough, and Warren counties.

Before becoming Undersecretary, Torres Small was a Representative for New Mexico’s second congressional district and served in the House Agriculture Committee.
