Trump nominates Georgia state Sen Brandon Beach for US treasurer

"Brandon helped us secure a Massive and Historic Victory for our Movement in the Great State of Georgia, and has been doing an incredible job in the Georgia State Senate since 2012. As our next Treasurer, Brandon will uphold the Values of Fiscal Responsibility, Economic Growth, and help unleash America’s Golden Age," Trump wrote in the post. "Congratulations Brandon!"
