ARLINGTON, Va., July 30, 2026 — The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) today applauded the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee for advancing the nomination of Keith Sonderling to serve as U.S. Secretary of Labor.

“The NGFA appreciates the Committee for advancing Keith Sonderling’s nomination,” said NGFA President and CEO Mike Seyfert. “America’s grain, feed, processing, and export industries depend on a stable and predictable regulatory environment, and filling this important leadership position at the Department of Labor is critical to providing certainty for employers and workers alike. We urge the full Senate to act promptly on Mr. Sonderling’s nomination and look forward to working with him upon his confirmation.”
