As an OB/GYN with experience working with Planned Parenthood and as a provider of reproductive health services, I wanted to talk to you about the abortion case the Supreme Court is hearing today (Moyle v.

Friends: I have HUGE news I wanted to share with you personally. Gov. Tony Evers just called for a special election to fill the open seat in Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District, the winner of which will be able to serve in Congress before the other members are sworn in for the new term next January. [Together, I know we can win this special election and flip this open seat blue. Tonight I’m up against my first-ever mid-quarter FEC fundraising deadline and I was hoping you could be one of the 250 donors we need to step up before midnight to hit our goal.]( I wanted to briefly explain why I’m running and why I’m asking for your support:
- Democrats were within 4 points of carrying this district in statewide contests in 2018 and 2023. This seat is highly competitive, especially with the stakes of a special election. - Incumbency plays a powerful role in our elections, since incumbents have higher name recognition in their district, get free media and press, and can use their official platform to reach voters in the district outside of their campaigns. Since this is an open seat and therefore has no incumbent, the playing field is much more level! - I’m not your typical candidate – I never imagined I would run for office. But as an OB/GYN who provides full scope, evidence based care for my patients, I refused to sit on the sidelines when Republicans tried to ban abortion without exceptions in my state. - I refuse to let Republicans take us back to the 1800s when it comes to women’s health and rights. I’m a 6th generation Wisconsinite, I’ve proudly served the women of my community for years, I know first-hand how devastating abortion restrictions are to my patients, and I personally sued to successfully block extreme Republicans from banning abortion outright in our state.
[There isn’t a single pro-choice OB/GYN in Congress. If we win this special election, there will be, and I will fight tooth and nail to guarantee a woman’s right to choose AND her health care provider’s ability to practice medicine without political interference. Donate ahead of our mid-quarter deadline tonight and let’s win the Wisconsin special election.]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be immediately processed and split between 314 Action and Kristin Lyerly.

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.
