About The Position

314 Action is a grassroots community powered by over 400,000 donors working to elect Democratic scientists and other STEM candidates who will use science and facts to address some of our most pressing issues like climate change and health care. Since its inception in 2016, 314 has quickly become a leader nationally with its unique focus on candidate recruitment and early-stage candidate support. 314 Action is the only national organization dedicated to recruiting, training, and electing Democrats scientists and STEM professionals. In 2024, 314 Action raised and spent over $14 million to flip three House seats, elect four new Democratic doctors and scientists, and win 225 state and local races in 46 states. Six of seven of our House members elected in 2024 came from our downballot program. In 2025, 107 of our STEM candidates were elected to local and state legislative offices across the country, including in key states like New Jersey and Virginia. 75% of our 2026 endorsed STEM candidates identify as women, people of color, or LGBTQ+. This cycle we are already working with 300+ STEM candidates running nationwide in competitive red to blue districts, gubernatorial races, and key races flying under the radar. In total, 314 has endorsed over 1000 candidates at all levels of the ballot resulting in hundreds of new STEM electeds.
