Here at 314 Action and 314 Action Fund, we’re on a mission to elect more scientists to Congress, state legislatures, and local offices. As trained problem-solvers, STEM professionals are ready, willing, and able to find solutions for the significant challenges facing America in the 21st century. 

With a millions-strong grassroots network of engaged supporters in every part of the country, 314 works to promote the scientific and evidence-based policy communities and has become one of the most impactful organizations in progressive politics.

In 2018, we played a pivotal role in flipping the United States House of Representatives by electing nine first-time science candidates such as Dr. Kim Schrier, the first pediatrician elected to Congress, and registered nurse Lauren Underwood, the youngest Black woman to serve in the U.S. House.

In November 2020, the only two Democrats who flipped United States Senate seats – Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona and Sen. John Hickenlooper of Colorado – were recruited to run for office by our organization.
With staff ranging from an entrepreneurial scientist who stepped into the electoral arena to seasoned political operatives and skilled fundraisers, 314 provides critical resources and expertise to STEM candidates new to politics. 

We reach out to scientific communities, identifying people with professional STEM backgrounds to run for local, state, and federal offices. Our work includes training and supporting our endorsed candidates, ensuring they have the cutting-edge tools to run successful campaigns.
