WASHINGTON, D.C – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) released the following statement after meeting with President-elect Trump’s nominee to be Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.:
“Wisconsin parents don’t want their kindergarteners coming home with mumps or measles. Wisconsin families don’t want cancer and Alzheimer’s to keep taking our loved ones. Wisconsin women don’t want RFK, Jr. stopping them from getting birth control at the pharmacy. Wisconsinites don’t want higher health care costs and more garbage insurance plans that don’t cover the things they need. But, this could be our reality with RFK, Jr. leading our nation’s leading health agency.
“Wisconsinites deserve someone who is fighting to keep them safe and healthy, not someone fighting to push vaccine conspiracy theories and stop research on cures to deadly diseases.”
