President Joe Biden announced the appointment of several individuals to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Tuesday. Ohio State Democratic Rep. Janine Boyd is among the selectees and carries the dubious distinction of having sponsored a bill that seeks to proclaim racism a public health crisis.
She will be the HHS director of Region 5, covering Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Subsequently, she has resigned her seat in the state’s legislature, which she has held since 2014.
“Janine R. Boyd is a pediatric speech and language pathologist turned advocate and state legislator. With almost two decades of experience in health and human services advocacy and policy as a government affairs professional, Boyd has been actively involved in Ohio’s state budget process and identifying federal opportunities on behalf of programs that serve the most vulnerable citizens,” the White House said.
