Boise, Idaho ~ Boise, Idaho - Governor Brad Little has expressed his support for President Donald Trump's nomination of Idahoan Alex Adams to serve as the Assistant Secretary for the Administration of Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
