Former Florida Congressman, Dave Weldon, has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Despite losing a recent state House race to a Trump-backed opponent, Weldon’s medical background and political history were highlighted by the President-elect as reasons for his nomination. Weldon, who served in Congress from 1994 to 2008, will now have the opportunity to restore trust in the CDC, which has faced criticism during the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump emphasized the importance of transparency, competence, and high standards at the CDC, as well as the need to focus on preventing chronic diseases. With Weldon’s experience as a doctor and Army veteran, he is seen as a strong candidate to lead the CDC and work towards making America healthy again. The nomination of Weldon represents a return to politics for the former Congressman, who will bring his conservative leadership and commitment to accountability to the CDC.
