And last year, in the wake of RFK Jr.’s appointment to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, I joined the other five Democratic doctors in the House to form the first-ever Democratic Doctors Caucus to fight the dangerous misinformation, hold this administration accountable, and stand up for science and evidence-based policy and the health of all Americans.
Fight dangerous health misinformation, hold the administration accountable, and stand up for science, evidence-based policy, and Americans' health through the Democratic Doctors Caucus.

U.S. Representative Kelly Morrison (MN-03) joined all six Democratic physicians serving in the U.S. House of Representatives to formally announce the launch of the Democratic Doctors Caucus.
Assessments
The commitment was to act through the Democratic Doctors Caucus to fight health misinformation, hold the administration accountable, and support evidence-based health policy. Verified passages show Morrison joined the caucus at launch, then materially participated in caucus actions including leading a demand to correct CDC vaccine-autism misinformation, joining a caucus call for RFK Jr.'s resignation over undermining evidence-based public health guidance, urging reversal of a vaccine-related executive order, and publicly opposing Medicaid cuts. These actions directly match the promised action during her current House term.
