There has never been a Black doctor elected to be a voting member of Congress

 In our country’s nearly 250 years of history, there has never been a Black doctor elected to be a voting member of Congress. I’m running to change that. And we’re running to do so much more than just make history, which I would love to expand upon below.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 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.

[But my primary election is just 3 weeks away and my campaign manager tells me we still need to raise another $20,000 before midnight to fund one of our final voter contact campaigns. If you’re able to, I’m humbly asking if you can donate ahead of this critical deadline.]( If I’m elected, yes, we would make history and shatter a major glass ceiling. The historic nature of our campaign is not lost on me. But I’m not running to make history. I’m running to break down barriers for the American people: Barriers like accessing quality healthcare and a secure retirement, making reproductive care accessible to women in EVERY state, fighting to ensure everyone in our country has a fair shot at the American Dream and a social safety net that catches those who fall on hard times. We need more doctors in Congress to fight back against GOP attempts to deny women their right to reproductive care, to block their attacks on Medicare and Medicaid, to spearhead efforts to drive down prescription drug costs, and use our expertise to reform our healthcare system so everyone can access the care their families need and deserve. But I need your help to get there friends: New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District is currently open and this is a seat that Republicans used to consider a safe red seat, one they used to carry by double digits. [And we’ve got a budget gap to fund our next round of voter contact efforts: So can I count on you to donate before midnight so we have the resources to WIN this former GOP open seat?]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be immediately processed and split between 314 Action Fund and Dr. Herb Conaway.

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.
