Atlanta, GA – Tea Party Patriots President and co-founder Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement today reacting to Rep. Tom Price’s (R-GA) confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

“On behalf of our network of grassroots activists, Tea Party Patriots congratulates Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) on his confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Tea Party Patriots knows Dr. Price well, as we stood with him for healthcare freedom from the early days of our movement, and the American people will come to know him as we do – a true patriot who is uniquely qualified to lead the Department of Health and Human Services at this point in history. Dr. Price’s experience as both a medical doctor and a legislator will be critical as he leads the effort to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a system that provides more choice and freedom for the American people. We look forward to working with Dr. Price and thank President Trump for choosing such an outstanding person to lead these critical efforts.”
