WHO WE ARE

We are the only organization in the nation focused on recruiting, training, and electing Democrats with a background in science to public office.

snip---------------------------------------------------------------

We are a grassroots organization powered by an average donation of just $19 and supported by 431,000 individual donors.

In total, our team directed more than $8.6 million to pro-science Democrats and helped elect over 400 endorsed candidates since our founding. This includes 4 U.S. Senators, 13 members of the U.S. House, 9 candidates for down-ballot statewide offices, and over 300 candidates at the state and municipal level.

In the 2022 cycle, nearly 70% of 314 Action candidates won their elections, including 71 non-incumbents. Three quarters of our winning candidates identify as women, people of color, or LGBTQ+. At the state-level specifically, our scientists were key to helping Democrats flip the Michigan, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania State Houses and defend vulnerable majorities in other states like Nevada in Colorado.
