Brooke Rollins - head of a pro-Trump right-wing think tank - is his pick for agriculture secretary.
Donald Trump has nominated longtime ally Brooke Rollins for secretary of agriculture, completing his cabinet roster.
A former White House aide during the president-elect's first administration, she served as director of the Office of American Innovation and acting director of the Domestic Policy Council. If confirmed by the Senate, she would oversee farm subsidies, federal nutrition programmes, meat inspections and other facets of the country's farm, food and forestry industries.
Kennedy, a former environmental lawyer and vaccine sceptic who ran against Trump as an independent before dropping out and endorsing him, would be in charge of the Food and Drug Administration.
