- “I’m thrilled to have 10 Nobel laureates endorsing my articles of impeachment of RFK,” said Rep. Haley Stevens.
- “I am far from a performative actor in the House of Representatives, just recently being recognized by the Center for Effective Lawmaking as the most effective Democrat in the chamber for technology policy and the most effective Democrat for Michigan writ large in the chamber.”
- “I get things done, but my job is also accountability. I’m the one having these conversations with families who are devastated because these clinical trials are on the line. I’m hearing from women and, frankly, their children who are insulted because of false claims being made about Tylenol, and so we’ve got to put public health first, and that’s why I’ve taken this step.”

- Stevens said she had heeded the call of pro-science groups, who have warned that Kennedy’s 10-month tenure leading HHS has cost American lives and that he must be removed.
- “It’s a public health and safety issue…and when I have Michiganders who have daughters or sons going through clinical cancer research trials that are stopped in the middle because of RFK, when I introduce legislation to reinstitute the funding for those clinical trials, and it doesn’t get done … when I’ve called on him to step down and he doesn’t, this is a safety issue.”
- “I’m a very serious lawmaker. I get a lot done here,” she continued. “But I’m not going to sit quietly by while people’s health and safety and lives are on the line.”

- Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) said on Wednesday she filed articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling him “the biggest self-created threat to our health and safety.”
- “RFK Jr. has got to go. Today, I introduced Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and public health and on the American people,” Stevens said in a video statement released on the social platform X.
- “Under his watch, families are less safe, health care costs are skyrocketing, and lifesaving research, including right here in Michigan, is being gutted,” she said in the video. “RFK Jr. is the biggest self-created threat to our health and safety.”
- “I cannot and I will not stand by while one man dismantles decades of medical progress,” she continued. “Enough is enough, and that is why I’m pushing to impeach RFK Jr., to hold him accountable and to protect the health, safety and future of every Michigander because our health, our science and our future are worth fighting for.”
- In late September, Stevens introduced the “Stop RFK’s BS Act,” which would reverse funding cuts Kennedy has overseen.

- Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) announced that she introduced articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday.
- The articles of impeachment contend that Kennedy “has imperiled the health and safety of the American people, eroded public confidence in the nation’s public health institutions, and stalled decades of scientific and medical progress.”
- Stevens pointed to a series of actions taken by Kennedy, including cutting funding for lifesaving research; restricting access to COVID vaccines for pregnant women and healthy children; and firing all 17 previous members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and replacing them with a smaller handpicked group.
- Stevens’ move closely follows the 2-day ACIP meeting last week, during which the panel discussed shrinking the childhood vaccination schedule and setting up a workgroup to assess the safety of aluminum adjuvants in vaccines, on top of voting to drop the recommendation for the hepatitis B vaccine for all babies at birth.
