Americans & West Virginians deserve competent leadership at the @FDA who will take immediate action to address the drug epidemic that has killed more than 100,000 Americans in the last year. sen.gov/ZOPL
In March of last year, @SenatorHassan and I led 5 of our colleagues in calling on @POTUS to bring new leadership to the FDA to address this crisis that has been exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. sen.gov/127X
Instead, President Biden nominated Dr. Califf, who has significant ties to the pharmaceutical industry, in November to serve as FDA Commissioner. I strongly opposed his nomination, which is an insult to those who have been impacted by the drug epidemic. sen.gov/23WQ
And when Dr. Califf appeared before the Senate HELP Committee, I made it clear that the FDA needs leadership who will institute a culture change, not continue to fail to keep Americans safe. sen.gov/3JQ7
