PHOENIX — Calling her ideas on health policies too extreme and her judgment on critical issues questionable, a Republican-dominated panel voted late Thursday to recommend the Senate reject Gov. Katie Hobbs' pick to head the Department of Health Services.
She read a quote that Cullen made in June 2021 that it is"the ultimate arrogance and privilege to think that you don't need to get immunized." "But under your guidance, they suffered innumerable harm in terms of lack of proficiency in school, academic scores falling, socialization being reduced, depression, suicide," he said. And Hoffman said it turned out that children were the least likely to suffer the worst effects of the virus."I think I made decisions with the districts and with our school team to err on the side to protect children," she said.
"And to make it worse, today, even with the benefit of hindsight, of 20-20 vision, she still refuses to acknowledge and accept the devastating impacts of the mandates that she pushed for," he said. But it could be difficult for Cullen to survive a vote with Republicans holding a 16-14 edge in the chamber and all three Republicans on the panel recommending she not be confirmed. And Sen. T.J. Shope, R-Coolidge, who might be considered one of the more moderate members of the GOP caucus, posted a message on Twitter late Thursday suggesting he won't go along.
