314 Action Fund Endorses Dr. Adam Hamawy for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District

“Dr. Adam Hamawy has saved lives as an Army trauma combat surgeon in war zones, a first responder on 9/11 and in emergency rooms in New Jersey—now he’s prepared to continue the fight in Washington,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “With Donald Trump’s illegal war in Iran driving up costs at home and over a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act—Republicans in Congress have failed all Americans. We need brave new leaders like Dr. Hamawy who understand how to fix the healthcare crisis and knows the cost of war firsthand. We are proud to endorse him and look forward to supporting his campaign for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District.”

“Career Drop-Out”: 314 Action Statement on Casey Means U.S. Surgeon General Nomination Withdrawal

“Casey Means is a career drop-out,” said 314 Action President Shaughnessy Naughton. “She should never have been nominated to serve as U.S. Surgeon-General in the first place. While we are relieved with today’s decision to withdraw her nomination, let’s see this for what it is: a desperate attempt by Donald Trump to save face because he didn’t have the votes."

314 Action and Democratic Agricultural Candidates Slam RFK Jr. on Glyphosate SCOTUS Case

“If the Supreme Court caves to the demands of Donald Trump, Big Chemical corporations will be granted immunity,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “Allowing companies to avoid labeling potential cancer-causing ingredients would have devastating consequences for the health of the American people, our farms, and our environment.”

VIDEO: “There’s more skepticism for HHS and CDC under Secretary Kennedy—because of Secretary Kennedy”

“And this is just a real tragedy, and I think it's almost a result of the success of vaccination that people don't remember how devastating it was for children, especially before we had these vaccines—and that we're just walking away from it, or encouraging or people to walk away from vaccinating their children is a real failure on the part of this administration, and especially on Secretary Kennedy.”

RECAP: 314 Action Statement on RFK Jr. Senate Hearing Performance

“The damage he has done to America’s public agencies will take years, if not decades, to repair and as long as RFK Jr. remains health secretary—he will continue to put every American’s health at risk. More children will die from preventable diseases, more hospitals and rural clinics will close and more Americans will lose health care."

314 Action Celebrates 56th Anniversary of Earth Day

“Meanwhile, as RFK Jr. continues to promote conspiracy theories about mercury in vaccines, mercury is belched out by power plants across the nation. MAHA said they wanted healthier food and a cleaner environment, and instead we got total immunity for chemical manufacturers and a war over oil and gas. They are selling our health, our safety, and our planet to the highest bidder."

314 Action Fund Announces New Slate of Over 50 State and Local Endorsements

“As Republicans take their anti-science fight to statehouses across the country, it’s more important than ever to elect scientists and doctors to office at every level of government,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “From the state legislature down to country district clerks—our candidates are stepping up to use their expertise and real-world experience to keep Americans safe and healthy. They understand the science and the stakes, and bring their unique insight from the lab or hospital room to tackling the biggest issues facing their communities today: protecting health care, our environment, and lowering costs. We’re proud to support these candidates and look forward to working together in 2026 and beyond.”

“This is RFK Jr.’s Legacy” — 314 Action Slams RFK Jr.’s House Committee Hearing

“RFK Jr. spent the entire hearing evading any and all responsibility for failing to keep Americans safe and healthy. When directly questioned about his tenure as HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. froze, ducked, and dodged. He couldn’t answer for his cuts to medical and scientific research, wouldn’t promise to follow the guidance of the CDC Director, and refused to take accountability for spreading dangerous vaccine misinformation."

NEW ADS: 314 Action Releases New Ads Linking RFK Jr. to Vulnerable House Republicans

“We're already living with the consequences of RFK Jr.'s reckless leadership,” said 314 Action Executive Director Erik Polyak. “On his watch, we've seen the worst measles outbreak in nearly 30 years. Children are getting sick from diseases the U.S. eliminated because RFK Jr. continues to undermine confidence in childhood vaccines, and billions of dollars in medical research have stalled. This new ad campaign is a warning to vulnerable House Republicans—standing with Trump and RFK Jr. is a losing strategy, especially among Independents and swing voters, and 314 Action will replace them with pro-science Democrats in November.”

Republicans cut funding in their communities. Now, these scientists are running!
