Catholics celebrate the nomination of Governor Sebelius as the next HHS Secretary. It’s hard to imagine a more qualified candidate for this position. Gov. Sebelius has worked tirelessly to expand health coverage for all Kansans and has instituted policies that have drastically reduced the abortion rate in Kansas. Because of this proven track record, we feel that from a Catholic perspective, Gov. Sebelius is an excellent choice to lead our nation's Department of Health and Human Services.
Our nation desperately needs leaders who can bring Americans together behind common ground, common good solutions to the problems of our day. Kathleen Sebelius' ability to lead as a popular Democrat in a very conservative state proves she is the right woman for the job. We call on all people of good will to support her nomination, and look forward to her service in this important position.
