WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) applauded the Trump Administration today for nominating Dr. John C. Fleming to be the assistant secretary of commerce for economic development.

“I can think of no better candidate than Dr. Fleming for the role of assistant secretary of commerce for economic development,” said Sen.
