While the incoming Trump administration has filled most of its Cabinet positions, there are still some with vacancies. One of them is Secretary of Agriculture and it appears that Trump’s team will be meeting with at least one man today to potentially fill that spot.

According to Politico, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is scheduled to show up at Mar-a-Lago this afternoon to talk with Chief Strategist Steve Bannon and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus about the job. If Miller’s name sounds somewhat familiar, it’s likely because you remember him as the guy who sent a tweet days before Election Day calling Hillary Clinton the dreaded c-word.

Miller would later delete the tweet and his staff initially blamed the sending of it on Miller’s account being hacked while also calling it a retweet. The tweet wasn’t a retweet, but actually a copy-and-paste job from an alt-right account that Miller’s account followed. (An account that has since been suspended.)

Politico also noted that Miller had made a name for himself previously by defending cupcakes and deep fryers in school cafeterias, but is now touting his support for fresh produce and healthy eating.

Sid Miller is a joke in Texas, he billed the state for flying to Oklahoma to get a "Jesus" shot and them billed Texas over $2,000 for a trip to Mississippi to ride bulls in a rodeo.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller strolled into a state office conference room on Tuesday, doffed his cowboy hat and quietly plopped into a chair, joining about 10 others around a wooden table. Three were his employees.

This wasn’t a typical meeting of state bureaucrats. That was clear minutes earlier when attendees joined hands in prayer beneath the room’s florescent lights.

“Satan has no foothold here. Your army is here,” said Stephanie Franklin, a self-defense teacher, trained chaplain and leader of this week’s “Faith at Work” session for Department of Agriculture employees and anyone else who wants to come. “We have to remember to get refreshed in God’s word.”

Even in Texas, where many elected officials talk openly about how Christian faith shapes their policymaking, some might hesitate to bring religion directly to agency practices. But Miller is not shy. Since naming Michael Tummillo, a friend from his hometown of Stephenville, as the agency’s official volunteer chaplain last summer, the Republican has reserved a place for Christianity in the Stephen F. Austin building, and invited his employees to join.
