“Each is either a doctor or a scientist. And each had the backing of the political action committee 314 Action Fund, which focuses on electing pro-science voices to public office.”

“The organization’s success rate topped 80 percent this cycle for congressional candidates, with 14 of 17 of its candidates in the U.S. House of Representatives winning their races and hundreds of successful down-ballot candidates.”
