I wanted you to be the first person I told today: I’m officially running to flip Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District blue and be the only pro-choice OB/GYN in Congress. [We need a strong showing to launch our campaign: So I’m asking if you’ll become a founding donor to my campaign by donating before midnight.]( I have seen firsthand the effects of Wisconsin’s abortion ban – which stems from a law passed in 1849 that went into effect after Roe v. Wade was overturned. Most doctors didn’t even know that germs caused diseases back then. It was nearly 70 years before women would even be allowed to cast their first votes. As a result of this draconian ban, I can no longer treat my patients and pregnant women in Wisconsin under threat of criminal prosecution. Republicans have targeted my medical licenses and personally singled me out in their lawsuits for my work with Planned Parenthood to make me an example of what would happen to others who do the same. As a result, I commute regularly to Minnesota and have traveled to Arizona to deliver babies and care for pregnant women. All across the country, women are traveling across state lines from states like Wisconsin that have stripped them and their families of the best medical options for them and their safety in order to seek reproductive care. Our healthcare system is in crisis. Nurses and doctors are leaving the state and the profession in droves. Mothers and women are scared and confused. And it doesn’t have to be like this. With your help IT WON’T be like this in the future. We are going to restore reproductive rights here in Wisconsin and all across the country. Which is why I decided it’s time to run for office. Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District is an open seat that Democrats were just 3 points shy of carrying in 2018’s Senate election. With your help, we will flip it blue and win a pro-choice majority that will act to codify Roe v. Wade into law. [So if you’re with me in this fight: I’m humbly asking if you will become a founding donor to my campaign on the day of our launch.]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be immediately processed and split between 314 Action and Kristin Lyerly.

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.
