Following the Senate’s confirmation of Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) as Secretary of Health and Human Services, FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon made the following statement:
On behalf of FreedomWorks' activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to vote YES on the nomination of Rep. Tom Price, M.D. (R-Ga.) to serve as President Donald Trump’s secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The U.S. Capitol Building may be closed for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, but there will be plenty of action in the adjacent Senate office buildings.

Initially, more confirmation hearings were expected last week, but some delays were announced. The House is expected to convene on Friday.

Yet, in June, it was revealed by the Wall Street Journal that Gruber "worked more closely than previously known with the White House and top federal officials to shape the law."
