Patty Murray of Washington, the chairwoman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, expressed disappointment in a statement following the failed nomination."I'm incredibly disappointed to see Dr. Weil, an exceptionally qualified nominee with a long track record fighting to ensure workers get the wages they have earned, did not get the votes tonight to be confirmed as Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor.
