If the 6 Democratic scientists featured below win their toss-up races against the most vulnerable House Republicans in Congress, Democrats WILL flip the House. We wanted to give you an in-depth and private update on each of their races -- Then share with you that we will be spending seven-figures to reach millions of voters in red-to-blue House races! [Read more below and donate $6 or more so we have the resources to FLIP all 6 of these districts in November â]( New Yorkâs 22nd Congressional District: [State Sen. John Mannion]Last week, Roll Call ranked GOP Rep. Brandon Williams as THE most vulnerable House Republican in the United States. Why? He barely won re-election in 2022, only winning by 2,500 votes and 1% of the vote. This was after Joe Biden carried the district by 7.5% in 2020 and before redistricting â which made the district several points more Democratic!
Former science teacher and State Sen. John Mannion is no stranger to tough races: In fact, he won a highly competitive State Senate seat by just 50 votes and has a strong track record of delivering bipartisan wins in the State Legislature.
Multiple election experts JUST moved this race from toss-up toward favoring John Mannion. We plan on investing big here because Williams still retains a major cash-on-hand advantage over Mannion. Â
Californiaâs 27th Congressional District: [George Whitesides]Last week, Roll Call ranked GOP Rep. Mike Garcia as THE 6th most vulnerable House Republican in the United States. Why? He barely won this district by just 333 votes in a recent election in a district Joe Biden carried by a landslide in 2020 â a margin of 12.4% of the vote!
And heâs facing his toughest opponent yet. George Whitesides is the former Chief of Staff for NASA, founded a leading spaceflight company that employed hundreds in the district, and co-founded a major group to respond to wildfire disasters in the district. Because of supporters like you, heâs also been able to outraise Mike Garcia.
Republicans are spending more here than in almost any other district. Why? Because a recent poll showed George Whitesides WINNING and even Fox News admitted this race is leaning toward the Democrats for the first time in 5Â years! Â
Oregonâs 5th Congressional District: [State Rep. Janelle Bynum]Last week, Roll Call ranked GOP Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer as THE 4th most vulnerable House Republican in the United States. Why? She barely flipped this district red in 2022 by a margin of just 2% of the vote. And this is a district that prefers Democrats â Joe Biden carried the district in 2020 by nearly 10%! How OR-5 votes is how America is expected to vote overall: The district is almost perfectly split evenly between Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.
A new poll shows electrical engineer and State Rep. Janelle Bynum within the margin-of-error of Chavez-DeRemer. Every election expert weâve talked to has rated this race as a âtoss-upâ and Republicans are spending more here than almost anywhere else for a reason. Â
Nebraskaâs 2nd Congressional District: [State Senator Tony Vargas]Last week, Roll Call recently ranked GOP Rep. Don Bacon as THE 5th most vulnerable House Republican in the United States. Why? He only won re-election in 2022 by 2% of the vote in a district President Joe Biden carried by a wide margin in 2020 (6.3%!).
Heâs facing the toughest fight of his political life in the form of science teacher and State Senator Tony Vargas. Not just one or two, but now three polls all show Tony Vargas within the margin-of-error of Don Bacon and one even showed him taking the lead! Â
Arizonaâs 1st Congressional District: [State Rep. Amish Shah]The National Journal recently ranked GOP Rep. David Schweikert as one of THE top 11 most vulnerable House Republicans in the United States (and the most vulnerable in all of Arizona!). Why? He only won re-election by a razor-thin margin of 0.8% in 2022 in a district that Joe Biden carried by 1.5% in 2020. Heâs also facing years-long ethics scandals including campaign finance fraud and the misuse and abuse of taxpayer resources to enrich himself and his friends (even Republicans voted to condemn his behavior!).
Now, heâs in the fight for his political life now that E.R. physician and former State Rep. Amish Shah is running against him. While Amish served Arizona families and took care of their health, Schweikert swindled their money to fuel a lavish and corrupt lifestyle. And polling shows his time in Washington might be up: Amish trails him by just 1% in the latest poll. Â
Iowaâs 1st Congressional District: [State Rep. Christina Bohannan]In 2020, this district made history as being the closest House race in a century. Democrats lost this seat by just 6 votes. This year, we have the chance to win it back. Environmental engineer, law professor, and former State Rep. Christina Bohannan is running one of the best Democratic campaigns of the past decade in Iowa. Earlier in the year, her race was rated as Likely Republican and polling showed her trailing.
But Christina never stopped putting in the work â and itâs paying off. Multiple election experts JUST moved the race in her favor, Democratic Party organizations are now seriously investing in the district (the most in a decade!), and a new poll shows voters in her district actually prefer a Democrat over a Republican representing them in Congress!  If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be immediately processed.

314 Action is the only national organization working to elect Democrats with backgrounds in science and medicine at ALL levels of government â from the Senate down to local school boards. Since 2017, weâve supported more than 500+ candidates and reached millions of swing voters on their behalf with our data-driven messaging campaigns. Our candidates led the charge to flip the House in 2018, the Senate in 2021, and a handful of state legislatures in 2022. Now, there are more scientists in office than at any point in U.S. history. No one is better equipped to craft policy to address pressing issues like gun violence, climate change, healthcare reform, or restoring reproductive rights than scientific professionals. Recent polling confirms that scientific and medical professionals have some of the highest approval ratings and levels of trust among voters â Meaning our candidates are better positioned to win tough races and can cut through the partisan divide! 100% of our work is powered by individual donations and our average donation is just $19. We plan on supporting more Democratic scientists and medical professionals in virtually every state this election cycle than at any point in our history. With you by our side, weâll defend our Senate majority, retake the House, keep the White House blue, and elect a historic wave of Democrats to state legislatures and local office.
