Campaign Advisor (Federal & Statewide)
314 Action
Washington, DC based with frequent travel (Remote to start, as pandemic conditions permit)
314 Action is a grassroots community of over 5 million people working to elect scientists who will use science and facts to address some of our most pressing issues like climate change and health care.
In 2020, we helped flip U.S. Senate seats in Arizona and Colorado by drafting Capt. Mark Kelly and former Gov. John Hickenlooper to successfully run for office. After raising more than $22 million in grassroots donations, 314 Action helped elect nearly 20 scientists at the federal level and over 100 scientists at the state and local levels. Of these scientists, 57% were women, 23% were candidates of color, and 24% were first-time candidates for public office.
314 Action and its mission to elect scientists at all levels of government have been featured in pieces by numerous news outlets, including NBC News, CNN, Bloomberg, Newsweek, The Hill, and Huffington Post.
