On the eve of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s first confirmation hearing, a group of farmers sent a letter to the Senate Finance Committee urging the chamber to support the former presidential candidate’s bid to become secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
A Vermont farmer and food rights activist, John Klar, drafted the letter which was signed by more than 130 fellow farmers.
