Erica Schwartz advanced as Trump’s CDC director nominee

Erica Schwartz CDC director Senate committee Trump administration nomination

U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee voted to advance Dr. Erica Schwartz’s nomination to become director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At 54, Schwartz would be the agency’s 22nd director if confirmed by the full Senate. Her background includes medical and law degrees, service as deputy surgeon general and a leadership role with the U.S. Coast Guard.

Committee chair Sen. Bill Cassidy said he is confident Schwartz will resist political pressure, while Sen. Bernie Sanders voiced opposition, questioning her willingness to confront anti‑science influences. The nomination comes as the CDC, which has lost more than 3,000 staff — over a quarter of its workforce — and faced morale problems during the Trump administration.
