Biss’ decisive win is a bellwether for the competitive primaries this cycle. When given the opportunity, voters will largely choose a Democratic scientist or doctor over other Democratic candidates. Recent polling shows that doctors and scientists hold the highest trust among voters and that credibility can be the difference 314 Action’s candidates need to win their primary.
“Congratulations to the next Congressman for Illinois’ Ninth Congressional District, Daniel Biss,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “This is the first decisive win in the midterms and a bellwether for competitive primaries in this cycle. Biss will become the sixth STEM member of Congress from the state of Illinois, representing the largest delegation of 314 Action-endorsed STEM leaders of any state in the country.”
“As Trump and RFK Jr. lead us down a dangerous anti-science path, Americans are searching for who they can trust ‒ and doctors and scientists bring something Washington desperately needs right now: credibility rooted in evidence and real-world experience," 314 Action president Shaughnessy Naughton said in a statement.
“As Trump and RFK Jr. lead us down a dangerous anti-science path, Americans are searching for who they can trust ‒ and doctors and scientists bring something Washington desperately needs right now: credibility rooted in evidence and real-world experience,"314 Action president Shaughnessy Naughton said in a statement.
“This Pi Day, 314 Action is celebrating a decade of electing scientists and doctors to office—and right now, our mission is more crucial than ever,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “The American people can’t afford Trump and RFK Jr.’s health care crisis. Funding has been gutted, research has halted, and millions have been priced out of their health insurance. 314 Action knows better than anyone that science is resistance and we’re just getting started.”
314 Action President Shaughnessy Naughton was joined by Representative Lauren Underwood (IL-14), Hank Green, Dr. Vin Gupta, and Dr. Mary Trump as they discussed the cost of Trump and RFK Jr.’s anti-science agenda. Speakers underscored the danger posed by RFK Jr. to public health and how the MAHA agenda and its failed policies have made Americans sicker. They also previewed how health care affordability will be a decisive issue in the midterms, with Americans in battleground states currently blaming Republicans for high health care costs.
“RFK Jr.’s MAHA allies are saying the quiet part out loud: the MAHA endgame has always been to eliminate childhood vaccine recommendations,” said Grace Silva, 314 Action spokesperson. “Everything he’s done as HHS Secretary—gutting ACIP, reducing the number of recommended immunizations, and undermining confidence in vaccine safety—has set the stage for him to drive manufacturers out of the U.S and eradicate all vaccines. Even among Trump voters, RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine policies are deeply unpopular. 314 Action will continue to lead the charge against RFK Jr. to make sure there are consequences in the midterms.”
“Americans don’t trust our public health agencies because of RFK Jr.,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “This poll reinforces that doctors, scientists, and health care professionals continue to hold the highest level of trust, as trust in federal health agencies decline under RFK Jr.’s leadership. From cherry-picking data, to citing fake studies and replacing career scientists with wellness influencers, RFK Jr. has shattered confidence in America’s world-renowned public health organizations. While it will take years to rebuild trust and confidence, the best thing Americans can do right now is elect pro-science candidates who will stand up to Trump and RFK Jr. This is our moment—the midterms are shaping up to be the health care election and 314 Action candidates are uniquely positioned to win.”
