Once sworn in, Kelly Morrison will become the first female OB-GYN elected to Congress
(PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA) — Tonight, 314 Action Fund congratulates Kelly Morrison on her historic victory in Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District. Once sworn in, she will become the first female OB-GYN in Congress.
“Congratulations to Kelly Morrison on running a fantastic campaign and on her historic win,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President and Founder of 314 Action Fund. “As an OB-GYN, Dr. Morrison understands that abortion care is health care—and we need her voice and expertise to stand up to the anti-science, anti-abortionist looking to strip Americans of their reproductive freedoms.”
Naughton continued, “Kelly will fight to address our most pressing issues—tackling climate change, lowering health care, and, of course, reproductive freedoms, using facts, data, and science. Kelly will never choose partisanship over science and will always put Minnesota families first in Washington. We’re proud of her and cannot wait to work together to keep science in Congress.”
314 Action Fund is at the forefront of the battle to flip the House this cycle. The organization is backing STEM challengers to flip Republican seats in AZ-01, CA-27, IA-01, NE-02, NY-22, and OR-05. The movement is powered by a grassroots community of over six million people working to elect scientists, doctors, and STEM professionals, up and down the ballot, who will use science and facts to address our most pressing issues like climate change and health care.
