California and 14 Democratic Governors Form Alliance to Challenge CDC Policies
October 16, 2025 - 04:37
Governor Gavin Newsom of California, alongside 14 other Democratic governors, has announced a new alliance aimed at addressing growing concerns about the direction of the nation’s public health system. This coalition comes in response to what they describe as the influence of "extremists" within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The governors argue that recent decisions and guidelines from the CDC do not reflect the realities of public health needs and are detrimental to the health and safety of communities. The alliance seeks to advocate for evidence-based policies that prioritize public health over political agendas.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the governors emphasize the importance of a unified approach to public health challenges, which includes addressing misinformation and ensuring equitable access to healthcare resources. This collaborative effort aims to reshape public health strategies and restore trust in health institutions, as these leaders work to protect their constituents from perceived overreach and mismanagement.
