Democratic governors form a public health alliance in rebuke of Trump administration
The alliance of 14 states and Guam represents about one-third of the U.S. population and aims to counter federal cuts and vaccine policy shifts under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- On October 15, 2025, Democratic governors launched the Governors Public Health Alliance to coordinate public health across 14 states and the U.S. territory of Guam.
- Federal policy shifts and CDC downsizing prompted governors to coordinate state health efforts, while Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s advisers declined to recommend COVID-19 vaccinations, and ACIP recently voted to `bring back informed consent` for the vaccine.
- GovAct, a donor-funded nonprofit, backs the Governors Public Health Alliance as a hub to share data and coordinate emergency preparedness, with Dr. Mandy Cohen, former CDC director, advising.
- The coalition represents about 115 million people and plans to preserve vaccine access through standing orders and state executive orders, Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois said last month.
- Organizers described the move as a rebuke to the Trump administration and hope to recruit other governors, including Republicans, while building on regional collaboratives and not supplanting the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials.
