Gretchen Whitmer just issued a stunning call to action with just weeks to go until the TWIN special elections to decide control of the Michigan State House!]( Thanks to supporters like you (donating to emails like these) 314 Action’s Democratic scientists helped FLIP the State House and State Senate in 2022 for the first time in DECADES (we supported nearly three dozen Michigan Democrats at the state level). Not only could Democrats retake the majority in the State House if we win these special elections, but we’re also exactly one week out from the most competitive special election in the nation in Alabama! And! If our candidate wins in Texas, she’ll become the ONLY pro-choice woman with a background in healthcare in the entire State Senate, the first LGBTQ+ member of that chamber, and be the youngest person elected to the Senate in history. [Your support is DECISIVE in special elections (where even a few thousand dollars can decide the winner). So can we count on you to give $4 or more so Democrats can win these 4 high-profile special elections?]( [DONATE $4 OR MORE »]( Cook (TX SD-15) – Molly Cook is an E.R. nurse who would make HISTORY if she won the Texas runoff this May. If elected, she would be the youngest State Senator in Texas history, the 1st LGBTQ+ member of the Senate, and the ONLY pro-choice woman with a background in healthcare in the chamber (and in the largest state that has an abortion ban in the country). Lands (Alabama – HD-10) Marilyn is a licensed counselor with a background in the aerospace industry. This is the best red-to-blue flip opportunity in the nation currently as Marilyn will be on the ballot at the end of the month in a district Republicans barely held onto in 2022 and one Joe Biden carried in 2020. Marilyn has pledged to champion reproductive rights and public education if elected, both of which have been hammered away by Republicans at the state level. Xiong (Michigan – HD-13) Control of the Michigan State House is currently TIED, resulting in Democrats losing control of the chamber after flipping it blue in 2022 (which we were proud to be a part of!) after the incumbent (a science educator we helped elect!) won the race for Mayor of Warren. Mai is the first Asian-American and former refugee ever elected to the Macomb County Board of Commissioners and could give Democrats back our majority if she wins in early April. Herzberg (Michigan – HD 25) Peter is a Westland City Councilman who has championed environmental and climate causes, including saving the city’s entire recycling program from being scrapped. 314 Action invested in this district earlier this year to make sure Democrats have the resources to win this race, regain the majority in April, and continue to build on one of the most productive legislative sessions in more than a decade.

We hear you loud and clear: And we’ll be investing to support the LARGEST wave of Democratic scientists running for state and local office in history this year. This work is ONLY possible because of generous supporters like you! 🫵 314 Action  314 Action is the only national organization working to elect Democrats with backgrounds in science and medicine at ALL levels of government – from the Senate down to local school boards. 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.
