WASHINGTON—The U.S. Senate Finance Committee voted 15-8 on April 21 to approve Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Every Democrat on the panel, as well as two Republicans, voted in favor of Sebelius, who was not at the hearing.
Her nomination now goes to the full Senate for a vote. The date for that vote, however, has not been set.
