(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — Today 314 Action Fund, the nation’s only organization dedicated to recruiting, training, and electing scientists and doctors endorsed Dr. Ami Bera for California’s 3rd Congressional District. With his 13 years in Congress, Dr. Bera is one of 314 Action’s Vanguards of Science—the 314 Action-endorsed Members of Congress running in some of the most competitive seats this election cycle.

“Dr. Ami Bera is not only joining the fight to protect and restore health care as a doctor, but as a proven leader in Congress,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “As a founding member of the Democratic Doctor Caucus, Dr. Bera has gone toe to toe with RFK Jr. and pushed back against Republican attacks on public health. His expertise and knowledge is unparalleled, which is why we’re proud to endorse Dr. Bera as a Vanguard of Science. We look forward to electing him to California’s 3rd Congressional District.”

“Health care will be one of the top issues in the 2026 elections and, as a physician, I will always work to expand access to quality health care,” said Representative Ami Bera. “Since day one, I’ve fought to keep Californians healthy and safe. But now, Republicans are hiking insurance premiums, gutting funding to Medicaid, and promoting anti-science conspiracy theorists to run our health departments. I’m ready to take the fight to California’s new 3rd Congressional District and deliver real results for Sacramento County families. I’m proud to be endorsed by 314 Action and look forward to continuing to work alongside them.”

Dr. Bera was first elected to represent Sacramento County in November 2012. Dr. Bera served this community for 21 years as a doctor, as Sacramento County’s Chief Medical Officer, and then as a Clinical Professor of Medicine at UC Davis, where he taught the next generation of doctors to care for their patients. He’s a founding member of the Democratic Doctors Caucus. 

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.
