MAHA has reshaped health policy. Now it's working on environmental rules
The EPA and Make America Healthy Again activists collaborate on a new agenda to tackle chemical and plastic pollution, with weekly meetings and planned policy proposals.
- EPA Press Secretary Brigit Hirsch said the agency will produce a MAHA agenda in the coming months after direct engagement with MAHA activists.
- Last year, Kelly Ryerson and other MAHA supporters drew up a petition targeting Lee Zeldin, and Ryerson's petition was updated last month to note signers met with him.
- Regulatory moves cited include limits on phthalates and EPA restrictions on five chemicals, while activists say the agency approved two new pesticides for food and broader Dicamba use.
- A month before the announcement the EPA hired Kyle Kunkler, a former soybean association lobbyist, to a senior pesticides role while denying his influence, and observers warn MAHA's sway could affect President Donald Trump's coalition and midterm prospects.
- Observers say the unusual pairing between the Republican administration and MAHA is fragile, and activists including Courtney Swan are watching closely to see if the EPA's actions are substantive or performative.
