Brooke Leslie Rollins (born April 10, 1972)[citation needed] is an American conservative legal activist and politician who is serving as the 33rd United States secretary of agriculture since February 2025.
Rollins previously served as deputy general counsel, ethics advisor, and policy director to Texas governor Rick Perry. She is an advocate of criminal justice reform. Rollins was the president and CEO of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, an Austin-based conservative think tank, from 2003 through 2018. During her tenure at TPPF, the think tank grew from having a staff of three to a staff of 100.
Rollins oversaw the White House Office of American Innovation under President Donald Trump from 2018 until 2020. She also served as the acting director of the United States Domestic Policy Council under President Trump. Since the end of the Trump administration, Rollins served as the president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute.
On November 23, 2024, President-elect Trump announced his intent to nominate Rollins to be Secretary of Agriculture. She was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on February 13, 2025 by a vote of 72–28, and sworn in later that day. She is the second woman to hold the position, after Ann Veneman.
