President-elect Donald Trump has named Brooke Rollins to be secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), where she would oversee the programs that reimburse schools providing school meals for low-income children.

Rollins, a Texas native, is president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), a conservative think tank launched in 2021. She also served as acting director of the White House’s Domestic Policy Council at the end of Trump’s first term.

Although Trump has yet to reveal his position on school nutrition or universal meal policies, he did roll back Obama-era nutrition standards on grains, milk and sodium content during his first term in office. Meanwhile, Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation policy blueprint developed by former Trump administration officials, has called for Congress to eliminate universal school meal programs like the Community Eligibility Provision.
