(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — Today 314 Action Fund, the nation’s only organization dedicated to recruiting, training, and electing scientists and doctors endorsed Dr. Jasmeet Bains for California’s 22nd Congressional District. As a family doctor, Dr. Bains is a Guardian of Public Health candidate. She’s answering the call to serve her community as 314 Action works to elect 100 new doctors, nurses and health care professionals to office by 2030
“Dr. Jasmeet Bains has dedicated her life to caring for working families—she’ll deliver with the same care and compassion as she fights for Californian families in Congress,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action. “California’s 22nd District is home to the most Medicaid recipients of any House Republican, but Representative David Valadao turned his back on the district, voting to gut one trillion dollars from the program. Dr. Bains is exactly who we need to flip the district and we’re proud to endorse Dr. Bains as a Guardian of Public Health.”
“As a doctor, I took an oath to care for everyone. And when I’m elected to Congress, I’ll keep that oath and fight for every Californian,” said Dr. Jasmeet Bains. “We’re facing relentless attacks on our health care and our own representative is leading the charge. This is unacceptable and the Central Valley deserves better. 314 Action understands the importance of electing doctors and scientists to office to restore health care, particularly for our most vulnerable. I’m proud to be endorsed by 314 Action and look forward to working together to flip California’s 22nd District.”
Dr. Jasmeet Bains is a family doctor who has dedicated her life to caring for working families, confronting health inequities. Trained as a doctor in her community, Dr. Bains stayed and continued to serve as a rural doctor. She became the Chief Medical Officer for the Central Valley on the California Medical Assistance Team and became Chair of the California Healthcare Workforce Policy Commission. After years of fighting COVID-19 on the frontlines, she ran and won a seat in the State Legislature while continuing to see patients in a local clinic in addition to serving on the frontlines of disasters and her work as an addiction doctor.
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.
