Yes, there is yet another new nomination Friday evening from the Trump transition team, and it's for another weighty role in the incoming administration--the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

In a statement, President Trump wrote that he will tap former GOP U.S. representative, Dr. Dave Weldon:

I am thrilled to announce that former Congressman, Dr. Dave Weldon, is nominated to serve as Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In addition to being a Medical Doctor for 40 years, and an Army Veteran, Dave has been a respected conservative leader on fiscal and social issues, and served on the Labor/HHS Appropriations Subcommittee, working for Accountability on HHS and CDC Policy and Budgeting. Dave also served in a leading role in Government Oversight and Reform Committee Hearings, addressing issues within HHS and CDC. Dave has successfully worked with the CDC to enact a ban on patents for human embryos.

 Americans have lost trust in the CDC and in our Federal Health Authorities, who have engaged in censorship, data manipulation, and misinformation. Given the current Chronic Health Crisis in our Country, the CDC must step up and correct past errors to focus on the Prevention of Disease.

 His statement continued:

The current Health of Americans is critical, and CDC will play a big role in helping to ensure Americans have the tools and resources they need to understand the underlying causes of disease, and the solutions to cure these diseases. As a father of two and a husband of 45 years, Dave understands American Family Values, and views Health as one of utmost importance. Dave will prioritize Transparency, Competence, and High Standards at CDC. Dave will proudly restore the CDC to its true purpose, and will work to end the Chronic Disease Epidemic, and Make America Healthy Again!

Dr. Weldon previously served as a congressman representing Florida: 

Weldon served in Congress for seven two-year terms. He first won election in 1994 as part of the so-called "Republican Revolution." He won reelection in 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006.
