As your constituent, I urge you to protect scientific integrity at the CDC following today’s congressional hearing. The CDC’s effectiveness in protecting public health depends on evidence-based decision-making and qualified scientific leadership. I ask that you: • Ensure CDC leadership positions require appropriate public health credentials • Support the agency’s independence from political interference • Maintain funding for rigorous scientific research and data collection Our nation’s health security depends on the CDC’s ability to provide science-based guidance. Please stand up for evidence-based public health policy. Thank you for your consideration.
