(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — 314 Action Fund today endorsed Dr. Matt Klein for Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District. Dr. Klein is a Guardian of Public Health candidate, answering the call to serve as 314 Action works to elect 100 new doctors in office by 2030.

“Minnesotans are hurting right now, but Dr. Matt Klein is committed to public service and stands ready to lead Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action Fund. “As a State Senator, he has a long record of fighting for Minnesotans, both in the exam room and in the state house. With threats to Medicaid, Dr. Klein’s will work tirelessly to ensure no one loses access to their health care. Now more than ever, we need doctors like him in Congress, passing legislation rooted in evidence to protect Minnesotans. We need more dedicated public servants like Dr. Klein who will work across the aisle to deliver for their constituents. We’re proud to endorse him for Congress.”

“I’m proud to be endorsed by 314 Action Fund as we push back against the nonstop attacks on health care and our communities,” said State Senator Dr. Matt Klein. “In the Minnesota House, I stood with my district to protect reproductive freedoms, control the cost of rising medications, and support our rural communities. Just as I did on the local level and as a doctor, I am trained to use evidence to solve problems that benefit every Minnesotan. I’m excited to work alongside 314 Action as we take on this fight together.”

Dr. Matt Klein has served in Minnesota’s State Senate, representing Senate District 53, since 2017, also working at Mayo Clinic in internal medicine. While in office, he’s passed laws protecting Minnesotans from financial fraud and predatory lending. Dr. Klein also controlled the rising cost of medications by regulating the pharmaceutical industry and affirmed the rights of Minnesotans to make their own choices about reproductive health.

Through Guardians of Public Health, 314 Action Fund is working to elect 100 new doctors, up and down the ballot and across the nation by 2030, raising and spending over $25 million in the effort.

314 Action Fund is the only national organization working to elect scientists and physicians who are Democrats across all levels of government—from the Senate down to local school boards. The organization is powered by a grassroots community of over six million people supporting scientists, doctors, and STEM professionals who will use science and facts to address our most pressing issues like climate change and health care.
