Daniel Han, Nicole Saphier Is Trump’s Pick for Surgeon General. She’s Also a ‘Farmer’ in New Jersey—and Gets a Tax Break, Politico (May 21, 2026):
Whether she is confirmed as the country’s surgeon general or not, [Surgeon General nominee Nicole] Saphier joins a [bipartisan] list of well-off New Jerseyans who use a farmland law to shave money off their property tax bills. . . .
Saphier’s Instagram bio also describes her as a part-time “farmer” — although she has contradicted herself.
“The reality is, I’m not a real farmer,” she said in one post last May. “I just kind of pretend like I am.” . . .
Through the White House, [Saphier] declined a request to tour the farm.
