@SecVilsack

- It was a distinct pleasure to visit the @SotomayorMagnet School alongside the First Partner of California @JenSiebelNewsom for a conversation focused on harnessing our collective power to improve school meals in California and across the nation.
- Today’s visit highlighted farm-to-school efforts underway in California and the role school meals can play in supporting local and regional food systems, mitigating climate change impacts, and providing healthy food to students.
