Senate committee advances Susan Monarez to be CDC director

Senate committee advances Susan Monarez to be CDC director
SHARE

The U.S. Senate’s health committee recently made a significant decision by approving Susan Monarez to serve as President Donald Trump’s director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This move brings her one step closer to confirmation, with the committee voting 12-11 in favor of advancing her nomination to the full Senate. The decision was split along party lines, with Democrats opposing the nomination.

Monarez, aged 50, is set to make history as the first CDC director to undergo Senate confirmation following a law passed in 2023. She assumed the role of acting director in January and was later nominated in March after Trump withdrew his initial choice, David Weldon. Monarez holds a doctorate in microbiology and immunology from the University of Wisconsin and has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University. Her background includes government roles in health technology and biosecurity.

The CDC has faced a period of instability with no permanent leader in place, leading to staff cuts, resignations, and controversy over vaccine policies. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been at the center of the upheaval, challenging longstanding CDC protocols and decisions. Monarez has expressed support for vaccines, public health interventions, and evidence-based practices but has been cautious in addressing potential conflicts with Kennedy’s views.

During a Senate hearing, concerns were raised about Monarez’s response to Kennedy’s actions, with Senator Bernie Sanders criticizing her for not standing up against the dismantling of CDC protocols. The CDC, established almost 80 years ago to combat malaria in the U.S., has since evolved into a global authority on infectious and chronic diseases, as well as a trusted source of health information.

The approval of Susan Monarez as CDC director marks a pivotal moment in the agency’s leadership, setting the stage for potential changes and advancements in public health initiatives. The Senate’s decision underscores the importance of having a qualified and committed individual at the helm of the CDC, especially during times of public health challenges and crises.
