Overturning Roe v. Wade wasn’t their end game. It marked the beginning of a new barrage of attacks on our fundamental rights and freedoms. Frankly, I’ve had it. Something has to change. That’s why I’m running for Congress in Oregon’s 3rd District. Tens of millions of women have been stripped of their reproductive rights by Republicans. Medication abortion, contraceptives, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security are in their crosshairs next. [My diagnosis? We need more medical providers in office and we need to take back the majority from Republicans. If you’re with me, I’m asking if you’ll donate anything you can spare ahead of our first ever FEC deadline at midnight tonight.]( I know first-hand how dangerous and deadly GOP attacks on science, healthcare providers, and scientific institutions can be. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I worked around the clock treating the most severe cases of Covid-19 in the I.C.U. And I watched as Republicans around the country and conservative media outlets demonized vaccines and safety protocols – measures that would have saved the lives of many who ended up in our I.C.U. It’s never been more important to have women with medical backgrounds in office. And right now, out of 535 members, there are only 2 pro-choice women who are doctors in the House and Senate combined. [I’m running to change that. But I can’t do this without you. So can I count on you to make your first donation before midnight – of any size – so we can reach our first ever FEC goal? We’re trying to get 1,000 donors onboard by the end of the day and we’re very close.]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be immediately processed and split between 314 Action Fund and Dr. Maxine Dexter.

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.
