Evidence

Booker led a bipartisan letter to Senate appropriations leaders seeking FY2027 PEPFAR safeguards and CDC’s core implementing-partner role.

Within the June 9-July 8, 2026 lookback window, Booker’s Senate office announced that he and 25 colleagues urged Senate Appropriations leadership to oppose State Department changes affecting CDC’s PEPFAR work. The embedded letter asks SFOPS and LHHS appropriators to safeguard PEPFAR implementation in FY2027 appropriations bills and include language preserving CDC’s role as a core PEPFAR implementing partner.

The SFOPS subcommittee page lists Lindsey Graham as chair, Brian Schatz as ranking member, and PEPFAR under Global Health Programs jurisdiction.

This official Senate Appropriations page confirms the relevant appropriations venue for the Booker letter: the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs subcommittee has jurisdiction over Global Health Programs including PEPFAR, and its listed leadership matches the Booker letter’s addressees.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was to urge Senate appropriators to safeguard PEPFAR implementation in FY2027 appropriations and preserve CDC's role as a core implementing partner. Evidence shows Booker led a bipartisan Senate letter during his current Senate term to the relevant appropriations leaders asking for exactly that language and protection. Because the promised action was the urging itself, not final enactment of appropriations language, this counts as delivered in the same term.
