I am writing to urge you to support the impeachment of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from his position at the Department of Health and Human Services. His actions since taking office have systematically undermined public health infrastructure and scientific integrity in ways that directly threaten the health and safety of your constituents.
Kennedy's tenure has been marked by decisions that contradict established medical science and endanger Americans. His long history of promoting vaccine misinformation has now translated into policy actions that weaken disease prevention programs. The consequences of his leadership extend beyond rhetoric into tangible harm to federal health agencies that protect millions of people.
His decisions have disrupted critical health programs and demoralized career public health professionals who have dedicated their careers to protecting Americans from disease outbreaks, ensuring food and drug safety, and advancing medical research. The damage to institutional knowledge and expertise at HHS will take years to repair, even after his departure.
The Secretary's statements and policy directions have eroded public trust in essential health institutions at a time when confidence in science-based medicine is crucial. This erosion has real-world consequences for vaccination rates, disease surveillance, and emergency preparedness. Communities across the country, including those in your district, depend on HHS agencies for everything from Medicare administration to pandemic response.
I recognize that impeachment is a serious constitutional remedy, but Kennedy's actions meet the threshold of conduct that warrants removal from office. His systematic dismantling of public health protections and promotion of scientifically discredited positions from a position of federal authority constitute a betrayal of the public trust.
I urge you to publicly call for Kennedy's impeachment and to work with your colleagues to hold him accountable for the damage he has inflicted on our nation's health infrastructure. The health and safety of your constituents depend on leadership at HHS that respects scientific evidence and prioritizes public welfare.
