Governor Stitt, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy Launch Make Oklahoma Healthy Again Campaign

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt today for a full day of events in Oklahoma City. The visit marked the formal launch of Governor Stitt’s Make Oklahoma Healthy Again (MOHA) campaign, a state-level extension of the national Make America Healthy Again movement championed by President Donald Trump and Secretary Kennedy.

“For far too long, we have settled for food that has made us sicker as a nation,” said Governor Stitt. “In Oklahoma, we’re choosing common sense, medical freedom, and personal responsibility. President Trump and Secretary Kennedy have led the charge nationally, I’m grateful for their support as we Make Oklahoma Healthy Again.”

At a rally in the Oklahoma State Capitol, Governor Stitt signed Executive Order 2025-13 directing a sweeping statewide review of public health policies ranging from water fluoridation to artificial food dyes. The executive order also establishes the MOHA Advisory Council and calls on state agencies to promote clean living, expand access to community wellness programs, and educate Oklahomans on how to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals in food, water, and daily life. PHOTOS HERE.

Governor Stitt also revealed that the State of Oklahoma has formally submitted a federal waiver to prohibit the purchase of soda and candy using SNAP-EBT benefits, which reflects growing bipartisan concern about the link between processed food consumption and chronic illnesses.

“Thank you, Governor Stitt, for your visionary leadership to Make Oklahoma Healthy Again,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “You’ve led with action—bringing healthy food to public schools and prisons, eliminating fluoride from drinking water, and submitting a waiver to remove soda, candy, and other junk food from SNAP. These bold steps are helping protect and restore the health of all Oklahomans.”

Earlier in the day, Secretary Kennedy and Governor Stitt appeared on The Faulkner Focus to discuss their shared vision for restoring health, liberty, and responsibility to American communities. WATCH HERE.

Later, Governor Stitt welcomed Secretary Kennedy to his family ranch and filmed a tour of the Governor's garden, known to many Oklahomans through the Governor’s popular gardening videos on social media. The visit underscored their shared belief that growing your own food, getting outside, and cutting through processed junk. PHOTOS HERE.

The pair also paid a visit to Mom’s Meals, a state-of-the-art kitchen production facility in Oklahoma City that prepares nutritious, medically tailored meals for individuals with chronic conditions.
