Food and Drug Administrator Confirmation Hearing Dr. Scott Gottlieb testified at a confirmation hearing on his nomination to be commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). He said his priorities at the FDA would be combating opioid addiction and accelerating the approval of new drugs. Ranking Member Patty Murray (D-WA) and Democratic committee members brought up their concerns about the nominee’s financial ties to medical companies. In response, Dr. Gottlieb pledged to be impartial as FDA commissioner and uphold the standards of the agency. Other topics addressed included prescription drug prices, e-cigarette regulations, food safety, and implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act. close
