WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, released a statement after the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Linda McMahon to be Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education by a final vote of 51 to 45. Last month, the HELP Committee approved her nomination by a vote of 12 to 11.
“Under the Biden-Harris administration, the Department of Education focused on everything but student success,” said Dr. Cassidy. “We need a strong leader at the Department who will get our education system back on track. Secretary McMahon is the right person for the job.”
