314 Action Fund Endorses Two New Jersey Doctors Running for Congress in NJ-07 and NJ-12

“After spending their careers on the front lines, two New Jersey doctors, Dr. Tina Shah and Dr. Adam Hamawy, are stepping up to run for Congress,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “They’ve seen first hand what happens when a system is rigged to benefit insurance companies over New Jerseyans and what happens when Republicans turn their back on the Garden State. They join a growing number of doctors running for Congress nationwide—and we are proud to endorse them.”

“Dr. Tina Shah has seen firsthand how broken our health care system is—and now she’s ready to change it from the inside out,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “As an ICU physician, Dr. Shah has spent her life caring for patients at their most vulnerable, sitting at their bedside as they face rising costs, insurance denials, and political dysfunction that puts lives at risk. With RFK Jr. and Trump attacking our public health, we need a doctor’s voice to represent New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. She has the real-life experience, expertise, and skills we can count on to deliver real change to our healthcare system. We’re proud to endorse Dr. Shah and look forward to supporting her campaign.”

314 Action Fund Endorses Dr. Adam Hamawy for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District

“Dr. Adam Hamawy has saved lives as an Army trauma combat surgeon in war zones, a first responder on 9/11 and in emergency rooms in New Jersey—now he’s prepared to continue the fight in Washington,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “With Donald Trump’s illegal war in Iran driving up costs at home and over a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act—Republicans in Congress have failed all Americans. We need brave new leaders like Dr. Hamawy who understand how to fix the healthcare crisis and knows the cost of war firsthand. We are proud to endorse him and look forward to supporting his campaign for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District.”

“Career Drop-Out”: 314 Action Statement on Casey Means U.S. Surgeon General Nomination Withdrawal

“Casey Means is a career drop-out,” said 314 Action President Shaughnessy Naughton. “She should never have been nominated to serve as U.S. Surgeon-General in the first place.

“And this is just a real tragedy, and I think it's almost a result of the success of vaccination that people don't remember how devastating it was for children, especially before we had these vaccines—and that we're just walking away from it, or encouraging or people to walk away from vaccinating their children is a real failure on the part of this administration, and especially on Secretary Kennedy.”

“The damage he has done to America’s public agencies will take years, if not decades, to repair and as long as RFK Jr. remains health secretary—he will continue to put every American’s health at risk.

“Meanwhile, as RFK Jr. continues to promote conspiracy theories about mercury in vaccines, mercury is belched out by power plants across the nation. MAHA said they wanted healthier food and a cleaner environment, and instead we got total immunity for chemical manufacturers and a war over oil and gas.

“As Republicans take their anti-science fight to statehouses across the country, it’s more important than ever to elect scientists and doctors to office at every level of government,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “From the state legislature down to country district clerks—our candidates are stepping up to use their expertise and real-world experience to keep Americans safe and healthy. They understand the science and the stakes, and bring their unique insight from the lab or hospital room to tackling the biggest issues facing their communities today: protecting health care, our environment, and lowering costs. We’re proud to support these candidates and look forward to working together in 2026 and beyond.”

Republicans cut funding in their communities. Now, these scientists are running!
