Washington,
D.C.
–
Today,
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
voted
in
support
of
Dr.
Scott
Gottlieb
to
serve
as
our
next
Commissioner
of
the
Food
and
Drug
Administration.
Below
is
his
statement
regarding
Gottlieb’s
nomination:
"As
both
a
physician
and
cancer
survivor,
Dr.
Gottlieb
brings
a
unique
experience-set
that
will
help
him
approach
situations
both
as
a
medical
professional
and
a
patient.
Not
only
is
he
exceptionally
qualified,
but
his
nomination
has
received
support
from
nearly
50
various
medical
organizations,
and
he
has
also
been
highly
regarded
by
three
former
FDA
commissioners.
I
hope
he
will
help
bring
a
common-sense
approach
to
how
the
FDA
is
managed,
especially
in
how
we
empower
innovation
to
ensure
every
patient
has
access
to
the
most
groundbreaking
treatments
available.”
