Gov. Stitt, RFK Jr. launch Make Oklahoma Healthy Again

OKLAHOMA CITY (OBV) – Gov. Kevin Stitt is working with U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to launch a Make Oklahoma Healthy Again (MOHA) campaign.

The campaign is Oklahoma’s extension of the Make America Healthy Again movement pushed by President Donald Trump and Kennedy.

Kennedy visited Oklahoma City last week, joining Stitt at the State Capitol for a rally in which the new Oklahoma initiative was announced.

“For far too long, we have settled for food that has made us sicker as a nation,” Stitt said. “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.”

Stitt signed Executive Order 2025-13 during the event. The order establishes the MOHA Advisory Council, calls on state agencies to promote clean living, expands access to community wellness programs and educates Oklahomans on how to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals in food, water and daily life, according to officials with Stitt’s office.

“Thank you, Governor Stitt, for your visionary leadership to Make Oklahoma Healthy Again,” Kennedy said. “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.”

The governor also announced that the state formally submitted a federal waiver prohibiting Oklahomans from using SNAP-EBT benefits to purchase of soda and candy.
