$19.
That’s the average donation that’s made to support our work. And while $19
doesn’t seem like it could change the trajectory of our country, it has.
Because by the time you donate $19, someone else has done the same, and it
can add up very quickly!
We’ve gone toe-to-toe with the NRA, the largest GOP Super PACs, Big Oil &
Gas, and WON!
This year, just as we did in 2018, we were able to elect a HISTORIC wave
of Democrats with backgrounds in STEM at all levels of government.
We’re the only organization in the nation working to elect Democratic
scientists to office – That includes
recruiting, training, building their campaigns, and supporting their
fundraising and voter turnout efforts. And unlike most organizations, we
invest in candidates at ALL levels of government, from the Senate to your
local school board.
[ [link removed] ]In a moment, we’d love to go into more detail about how we’ve been able
to beat the odds time and time again. But before we do, could we count on
you to match our average donation of $19 before our FINAL FEC deadline of
the year? We still need to raise $50,000 before year’s end.

In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election and assault on science and
scientific institutions, we marched in the largest pro-science
demonstrations in world history + saw an unprecedented flood of support
for our mission to elect scientists to office who would fight back.
At the time there wasn’t a single climate expert or woman physician in
Congress.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Dr. ]Dr. Kim SchrierSean Casten and Dr. Kim Schrier were first-time
candidates running in safe Republican districts. Sean’s district hadn’t
backed a Democrat for Congress since the Nixon era and Kim’s district had
never backed a Democrat in its history.
We weren’t deterred. In fact, Kim attended one of our first candidate
trainings and we were proud to go all-in to reach hundreds of thousands of
voters for them both, including other first-time candidates running for
Congress like ocean engineer Joe Cunningham, nuclear engineer Elaine
Luria, and nurse Lauren Underwood (all of who were running in races seen
as Lean or Likely Republican).
Many election experts predicted Joe, Elaine, and Kim would lose. Instead,
all of them won their races, we flipped the House, and we elected more
scientists to office than at any point in history.
[ Captain ]Captain Mark KellyThe next year we organized a campaign to draft
astronaut Mark Kelly to run for Senate and became the first organization
to endorse him in his bid for a Senate seat that had been held by
Republicans since 1962.
We invested millions into Arizona to boost Mark in this must-win race and
to support geologist John Hickennlooper in his must-win race to flip
Colorado’s Senate seat blue. We did the same when Senate control would be
decided in Georgia to help push Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff into the
lead after narrowly forcing their races into a runoff.
All of them won and as a result we won the Senate. [ Tony ]Tony EversOur
investments don’t stop at the Federal level: We worked closely with Gov.
Tony Evers (former science teacher) and Sara Rodriguez (epidemiologist who
was the Lt. Gov. nominee on the ticket) and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Lt.
Gov. Garlin Gilchrist (computer scientist) to invest hundreds of thousands
of dollars into keeping Wisconsin + Michigan blue.
And at the state legislative level, we’ve invested more than most
organizations in supporting hundreds of Democratic scientists at the state
and local level, which helped Democrats flip several state legislative
chambers from Minnesota to Michigan because we know how critical it is to
invest locally.
Oftentimes, we’ll be the only organization on the ground when a Democratic
scientist is exploring a run for office or announces they will be running.
Many wait until the primaries are over or until the candidate can prove
they can raise millions of dollars. We’re proud to stand side by side with
our candidates, whether for Governor, House, Senate, state legislature, or
school board, to be there from Day 1 through to Election Day.
Those average donations of $19 are what allow us to be there and to power
these historic victories, even when election experts say we don’t have a
chance or even when our candidates are being outspent 3:1. Because we know
we can beat the odds and we know our candidates can make history.
[ [link removed] ]That’s why we’re asking if you’ll pitch in just one more time this year
and match our average donation of $19 toward our final FEC deadline of the
election cycle.

will be immediately processed.
