A decision on the next leader of the Food and Drug Administration is nearing. Dr. Heidi Overton is the expected choice for the position. She currently holds a role in the White House Domestic Policy Council.

Overton's background includes work in public health and preventive medicine, as well as time at a think tank. Her views on certain policies align with those of the current administration.

Further details about the expected nomination and Overton's qualifications are available from the source. The nomination comes after a previous commissioner's resignation, which occurred about three months prior.
