Ossoff Statement on CDC Director Confirmation Vote | 2026-08-05 | 2026 | 2026-08 | Democrat | Senate | GA | Jon Ossoff | O000174 | www.ossoff.senate.gov | ossoff | https://www.ossoff.senate.gov/press-releases/?jsf=jet-engine:press-list | scraper | “I congratulate Dr. Schwartz on her Senate confirmation and sincerely hope her tenure at CDC will be a success for the Nation, the State of Georgia, and the CDC. “The CDC is currently under political attack by this Administration, which has gutted and demoralized the CDC workforce and disbanded critical CDC offices focused on maternal health and disease monitoring. “Secretary Kennedy’s reckless and sustained attack on the CDC puts Americans’ health at risk. Against this disturbing backdrop, after speaking with Dr. Schwartz, I lacked sufficient confidence in her independence. Accordingly, I voted against her confirmation. “I nevertheless stand ready to work with Dr. Schwartz to support the CDC, its vital mission, and the CDC’s workforce.” ### Your form has been received.
