Response from Senator Gillibrand

I was pleased. Usually when I have written an email to a representative, I don't get a response back other than a short we received your email.

I wrote her about my concern on Kennedy's position on SSRIs. The response said she agrees Kennedy is unqualified for the position of HHS Secretary and that she did not vote for his confirmation. She also said she thinks he should be removed and vowed she will continue to push back against him, when he tries to advance controversial health policies that put Americans health at risk.

She also responded to my sister! I was grateful for her or her office staff for getting back to me.
