WASHINGTON, D.C. – ICYMI: Congresswoman Haley Stevens received new endorsements in her effort to impeach Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services.
"Secretary Kennedy is driving up costs, endangering lives, undermining public health, betraying public trust and threatening Michigan families and our world-class research institutions. These are violations of his oath of office. We are in a public health emergency. It is time to protect science, protect lives and hold him accountable,”
Stevens has called for Kennedy’s removal before, in September saying she intended to file impeachment articles against him.
