My Take
Sonny Perdue is one of those resumes that makes me sit up. A veterinarian who became governor of Georgia and then US Secretary of Agriculture is not your typical career politician, and I value that. The hands-on background matters to me: someone who has actually worked with animals and the land brings real-world credibility to farm policy that pure rhetoric never can. Whatever one thinks of his politics, the through-line of his life is a genuine connection to agriculture and rural America. I tend to trust people who rose from the ground up, and Perdue fits that mold.
