Seek leadership role on the Senate health committee

Rand Paul said he is seeking the top Republican position on the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions in the next Congress. He said he would stand against federal efforts that put Washington between Americans and their doctors, schools, or paychecks, arguing that families should make decisions affecting their lives. Taking the role would mean giving up his chairmanship of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

Context: This was a stated plan for the next Congress; the report says he would give up his Homeland Security Committee chairmanship to take the HELP position.
