WASHINGTON — The Senate’s health panel delayed until next week a vote on Erica Schwartz to run the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, after postponing a separate vote on Sean Kaufman for a key public health preparedness role.
The committee vote on Schwartz was pushed back because too few senators showed up. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is dealing with a family emergency, and at least one other lawmaker was also absent.
