New York’s entire Democratic Congressional delegation has signed a letter requesting a meeting with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing “unprecedented attacks” on the state’s health funding.
The effort, led by U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jerry Nadler, comes in response to the Trump Administration’s move to cut more than $11 billion in funding for state and local health departments. All 19 New York House Democrats signed the letter, including Queens-based Reps. Nydia Velázquez, Grace Meng, Gregory Meeks, and Ocasio-Cortez.
