I’m no stranger to close races

Join me in supporting the handful of Democrats whose races will decide whether or not we flip the House blue in 5 days. All of them are running in races that were decided by less than 2.6% of the vote.͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ 314 Action Fund is the only national organization working to train, recruit, support, and elect Democrats with STEM and medical backgrounds to office at all levels of government.

Believe me when I tell you that these final days can make or break a campaign, especially when polling shows a tied contest and every vote could be decisive. Democrats are just 4 seats away from flipping the House blue. That’s why I’m asking if you’ll donate directly to 6 Democratic scientists running in 6 of the best red-to-blue flip opportunities in the nation. Polling couldn’t be any closer and these candidates are depending on one big final push to reach their final fundraising goals to fully fund their get-out-the-vote efforts. The deadline to donate to this Joint Fundraising Committee is tonight at midnight so these Democrats have time to put your donation to use!

Christina Bohannan]( Bohannan (IA-01) – Christina is an environmental engineer and law professor who defeated a 20-year incumbent to secure a seat in the Iowa State Legislature. In 2020, Republicans flipped this seat from blue to red by the slimmest margin of any House race in nearly an entire century – a margin of just 6 votes (0.01% of the vote). And polling confirms it could be just as competitive this November. Normington, Petts & Associates Poll: Bohannan 47% – Miller-Meeks 47%  [State Rep. Amish Shah](. Amish Shah (AZ-01) – Amish is an Emergency Room physician at the Mayo Clinic of Arizona and State Representative who had the most bills signed into law of any Arizona Democrat of the past decade. In 2022, Republicans barely defended this seat by a margin of just 3,195 votes (which was less than 1% of the vote). It could be even closer this time around. In 2020, Joe Biden won this district by 1.5%. Impact Research Poll: Shah 48% – Schweikert 48%  [State Rep. Janelle Bynum]( Bynum (OR-05) – Janelle is an electrical engineer, small business owner, and former State Representative who has defeated Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer (who she is now running against) not once but twice at the state level. In 2022, Republicans flipped this seat from blue to red by a razor-thin margin of just 2.1% of the vote. In 2020, Joe Biden won this district by 8.8% of the vote – one of the largest margins of any House seat actively held by a Republican. Noble Predictive Insights Poll: Bynum 43% – Chavez-DeRemer 42%  [George Whitesides]( Whitesides (CA-27) – George is an aerospace expert who served as the Chief of Staff for NASA under President Barack Obama, served as CEO of the spaceflight company Virgin Galactic, and co-founded a group to address wildfire disasters. In 2020, Republicans flipped this seat from blue to red by a razor-thin margin – just 333 votes (a margin of 0.1% of the vote). In 2020, Joe Biden won this district by a massive margin of 12.4% of the vote – more than almost any other House district currently represented by a Republican. University of Southern California Poll: Whitesides 48% – Garcia 46%  [State Sen. John Mannion]( Mannion (NY-22) – John is a former science teacher who won a highly competitive State Senate seat on Republican turf by just 10 votes to win a seat in the New York State Legislature. In 2022, Republicans barely defended this House seat by a razor-thin margin of just 2,631 votes (which is less than 1% of the vote!). In 2020, Joe Biden won this district by a margin of 7.4% of the vote – which is part of the reason the National Journal labeled this as the best red-to-blue pickup opportunity in the United States!  [State Senator Tony Vargas]( Vargas (NE-2) – Tony is a former science teacher and school board member who currently serves in the Nebraska State Senate. In 2022, Tony fell just 5,856 votes (a margin of just 2.6% of the vote) of flipping this seat from red to blue. In 2020, Joe Biden won this district by a margin of 6.4% of the vote and it's only grown more Democratic since.

Since 2017, we’ve 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 – 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, we’ll 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.
