Alongside Sen. Scott, Senators Roger Marshall (R-KA), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) joined the effort. They provided statements regarding the creation of the caucus.

Sen. Marshall said the MAHA Caucus will take the “food is medicine” approach.

“The MAHA caucus is committed to improving health outcomes by prioritizing nutrition, providing access to affordable, nutrient-dense foods, and focusing on primary care availability to tackle the root causes of chronic diseases,” said Sen. Marshall. “With our ‘Food is Medicine’ approach, support from RFK Jr., and a shared goal to Make America Healthy Again, we aim to foster transparency, innovation, and a transformative agenda that builds a healthier, stronger nation.”

Sen. Tuberville spoke about his recent meeting with RFK Jr. and shared his optimism about the caucus.

“Earlier this week, I met with RFK Jr., President Trump’s nominee to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Like I told him, I’ve heard from young people across the country who are inspired by his message to Make America Healthy Again,” said Sen. Tuberville. “During our meeting, Bobby and I had a great discussion about ways to make our food and health care system better. As a founding member of the Senate Make America Healthy Again Caucus, I look forward to working with my friend Senator Roger Marshall and our colleagues to make sure our food is safe, bring transparency to vaccines and health care, and Make America Healthy Again.”

Sen. Lummis said that “America is sicker than ever” but looks to hold federal agencies accountable. Sen. Johnson described this endeavor as “completely nonpartisan” and shared his willingness to join the caucus.
