Attorney General Keith Ellison and Protect Our Care Minnesota Raise Concerns Over RFK Jr. Nomination

ST. PAUL  (KVRR) — Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Protect Our Care Minnesota are joining forces against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. becoming Health and Human Services Secretary.

They are concerned about Kennedy’s views on vaccines and what they say is his disregard of science and public health.

They believe if he were to take office, Minnesotans would be at risk of losing critical programs like the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and Medicaid.

Ellison believes Kennedy’s priorities are not for Minnesotans.

“Yes there are great things we can do to make it even better, but we sure don’t want to make it worse. And that is why I’m on call with you all today because I believe it is all true, personnel is policy. And who you put in office will have a lot to do with how the policy is carried out,” said Keith Ellison, Minnesota Attorney General.

“Protect Our Care Minnesota” officials are working to make sure if changes are made that they will be able to adjust.
