Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. traveled to Oklahoma on Thursday to help Gov. Kevin Stitt roll out a “Make Oklahoma Healthy Again” campaign.

It’s the latest example of a conservative state embracing Kennedy’s MAHA platform. Kennedy has traveled around the country to tout initiatives like restrictions on artificial dyes, processed foods and fluoridated water.

“Oklahoma is 47th in health in the United States, and that’s not a good thing,” Kennedy said to the crowd.
