Laurie Money Appointed as Secretary of Arts and Culture in Trump Administration
Washington, D.C. – In a surprising political move, former President Donald Trump has appointed Laurie Money, widow of rock legend Eddie Money, as the new Secretary of Arts and Culture. The newly established role aims to promote American arts, music, and cultural heritage on a national scale.
Laurie Money, who was married to the late Two Tickets to Paradise singer for over 30 years, has long been involved in the entertainment industry. A former model, producer, and businesswoman, she played a significant role in managing Eddie Money’s career and preserving his musical legacy after his passing in 2019.
“The arts are a vital part of American identity, and I am honored to lead this initiative,” Laurie Money said in a statement. “Eddie always believed in the power of music to bring people together, and I want to continue that mission by supporting artists, musicians, and cultural institutions across the country.”
The appointment has sparked debate, with supporters praising her industry experience and commitment to preserving artistic heritage, while critics question her political background. However, Trump defended his choice, stating, “Laurie knows entertainment, she knows culture, and she knows what it means to be a great American. She will do tremendous things for the arts.”
Her first initiatives are expected to include funding for music education programs, revitalizing live entertainment post-pandemic, and promoting American artists worldwide. With her deep connection to music and entertainment, Laurie Money’s tenure as Secretary of Arts and Culture is set to bring a rock-and-roll touch to the political landscape.
