Against this disturbing backdrop, after speaking with Dr. Schwartz, I lacked sufficient confidence in her independence. Accordingly, I voted against her confirmation.\n\n\u201cI nevertheless stand ready to work with Dr. Schwartz to support the CDC, its vital mission, and the CDC\u2019s workforce.\u201d\n\n###\n\nYour form has been received.
