A group aligned with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is spending $1 million to help Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) defeat Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) in a contested Senate primary, its leader said on Feb. 9.

Tony Lyons, president of MAHA Action, said during a Heritage Foundation event in Washington that Letlow supports measures popular with the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, including medical freedom and healthy school lunches.
