(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — Today 314 Action Fund, the nation’s only organization dedicated to recruiting, training, and electing scientists and doctors endorsed Audrey Denney for California’s 1st Congressional District. 

“Audrey Denney has spent her life dedicated to working to strengthen rural communities and address food insecurity with evidence-based knowledge—and she’ll do just that in Congress,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “Audrey relies on evidence and science to drive her decision-making—a skill Republicans in Congress are desperately lacking right now. As an educator and an agricultural scientist, she’s running on delivering a better future for all—with a focus on affordable health care, high-quality education, and a strong economy. We need more leaders like Audrey in office. We’re proud to endorse her and look forward to helping Audrey flip California’s 1st District.”

“Donald Trump and RFK Jr. have abandoned farmers and ranchers—the people who put food on our tables—and I’m running to change that,” said Audrey Denney. “Northern California deserves leaders who know what it means to roll up their sleeves and get to work, and who have spent their lives fighting for rural communities right here at home. I’m proud to be endorsed by 314 Action, an organization that understands the importance of electing leaders who understand how science drives our economy and I’m ready to get to work to deliver for the people of California’s 1st District.”

Audrey Denney is a trained agricultural scientist and educator who brings a research-based, systems-thinking approach to public policy. With a degree in Agricultural Science and a master’s in Agricultural Education, she has dedicated her career to solving complex challenges in food systems, climate resilience, and rural development—whether that’s in the classroom, on farms, or in communities across the country. She currently works as an educator at California State University, Chico, and serves as a national consultant in the hunger relief sector.

314 Action is the only national organization working to recruit, train and elect Democratic scientists 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 and health care professionals who will use science and facts to address the most urgent issues facing our generation.
