HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to Join CPAC USA 2026

CPAC is proud to announce that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is a confirmed speaker for CPAC USA 2026 in Grapevine, Texas, March 25-28.  

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. serves as the 26th U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. In his first year, he has driven one of the most consequential shifts in public health policy in modern history. Under his leadership, HHS has eliminated petroleum-based food dyes from the food supply, partnered with USDA to release updated Dietary Guidelines centered on a simple message—eat real food—lowered drug prices, pushed medical schools to teach nutrition as the foundation of health, and moved to close the GRAS loophole to stop unchecked chemicals from entering the foods Americans eat. 

A lifelong Democrat, Kennedy broke with the party as it moved away from its traditional priorities. He built his career in public service as an environmental attorney with Riverkeeper and became a leading voice on the connection between human health and the environment. He co-founded Waterkeeper Alliance, growing it into the world’s largest clean water nonprofit, and later co-founded Children’s Health Defense to confront rising rates of childhood chronic disease.
