  • U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Birmingham, called on Sept. 15 for U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to resign.

  • Stevens [...]sent out an email saying her demand that Kennedy step down from the Trump administration post is in response to his cutting medical research funding impacting cancer studies and vaccine efficacy.

  • “Enough is enough. RFK Jr. is creating chaos and turning away from science at a time when Michiganders need real leadership and real answers," Stevens said in the email.

  • "Michiganders are tired of politicians who chase attention and ignore real problems. I’ve seen enough chaos from this administration and from Secretary Kennedy. He’s making Michiganders unhealthy and unsafe. He needs to resign now," she continued. 

  • "It’s time for leaders who fight for science, for health, and for the people, not those who undermine the progress our families and researchers work so hard to achieve.”

  • In August, Stevens sent a letter to Kennedy calling on him to reverse funding reductions to the National Institutes of Health, including those for cancer research, saying they will harm Americans' health and the economy.
