Klobuchar Statement on Daschle Nomination
December 11, 2008
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) offered the following statement on today’s announcement by President-elect Obama naming former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle as Secretary of Health and Human Services:
“Tom Daschle is a distinguished and uniquely qualified choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. He will bring a proven record and Midwestern sensibility to help us tackle one of the largest challenges facing our nation – health care. I believe Tom Daschle can lead the kind of bold reform that our health care system so desperately needs. Tom and I have discussed how we can replicate some of Minnesota’s successes in high-quality, high-efficiency care on a national level. I look forward to our continued work together in the months and years to come.”
