The association has sent letters to Minnesota Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith urging them to oppose the nomination. Both are expected to vote against Kennedy’s confirmation.
“For 172 years, the Minnesota Medical Association (MMA) has worked to improve the health of Minnesotans and to advance the science and art of medicine,” the MMA said in a media statement. “We expect our nation’s healthcare leadership to similarly ground their public health policy decisions in science and evidence.
