314 Action

314 Action is a nonprofit political action committee (PAC) established in 2016 by Shaughnessy Naughton, a former congressional candidate and chemist. The organization is dedicated to recruiting, training, and electing STEM-educated Democrats to various levels of government. It aims to bridge the gap between science and policymaking, advocating for evidence-based positions on critical issues such as climate change, healthcare, and technology. The PAC operates under the name 314 Action Impact Slate and focuses on initiatives like STEM the Divide, which provides training for first-time candidates. In the 2024 election cycle, 314 Action allocated $1.8 million in funds to support Democratic candidates and outside groups. The organization emphasizes promoting science literacy in politics and often highlights the differences between Democratic and Republican positions on key issues.
