==Rural Development Director==
On October 19, 2006, Holloway was named Louisiana state director for the Office of Rural Development in the [[U.S. Department of Agriculture]]. In making the appointment, Agriculture Secretary [[Mike Johanns]], currently a [[U.S. Senator]] from [[Nebraska]], said that Holloway, who had been a member of the [[House Agriculture Committee]] during his six years in Congress, "brings a wealth of knowledge to USDA." The agency seeks to increase economic opportunity and to improve the quality of life in rural communities. The agency has invested some $72 billion since 2001 to provide equity and technical assistance to finance and foster growth in homeownership, business development, and critical community and technology [[infrastructure]]. The agency claims to have created or saved some 1.2 million jobs nationwide. The Holloway appointment expired on January 20, 2009, with the incoming [[Barack Obama]] administration.<ref>"Holloway appointed to head rural development efforts in Louisiana," ''Colfax(Grant Parish) Chronicle,'' October 19, 2006.</ref>
