This is the second time in less than a year that Dairyland has been asked to host the U.S. Secretary of Labor, from two Administrations. Dairyland is a nonpartisan organization. We do not endorse candidates. We do regularly welcome elected officials of all parties and value our ability to work with policymakers on both sides of the aisle.
