Crapo Statement on Nomination of Idaho’s Alex Adams to be HHS Assistant Secretary

Washington, D.C.—U.S. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) issued the following statement after President Trump nominated Alex Adams, Idaho’s current Department of Health and Welfare Director, to be the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Secretary for Family Support:

“Alex has shown a deep commitment to Idahoans’ health throughout his tenure as Director of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.  His leadership and dedication to expanding care in underserved areas reflects the commonsense, results-driven approach he will bring to HHS.  Alex’s additional experience as Governor Little’s budget and regulatory director will also prove invaluable in right-sizing the scope of government in improving the health and wellbeing of all Americans.  I look forward to swiftly considering his nomination before the Finance Committee.”
