314 Action, a group that supports scientifically educated candidates for elected office, is endorsing Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a staunch progressive, in his bid for Senate in Michigan. The endorsement marks a dramatic shift for the group, which has been previously tarred in Democratic politics for its ties to pro-Israel donors.<\/span><\/p>\n

314 Action was founded in 2016 in reaction to President Donald Trump and the Republicans\u2019 refusal to acknowledge scientific phenomena like human-caused climate change and the GOP\u2019s anti-science posture. But the group became increasingly politically relevant in 2020, when it began endorsing congressional candidates and shaming Republicans for their response to the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Four years later, 314 Action became a subject of controversy after The Intercept <\/span>reported<\/span> that it was acting as a front for pro-Israel donors in a congressional race in Portland, Oregon. Campaign finance disclosures later <\/span>revealed<\/span> that major donors to the group included former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a conservative Democrat, and investor Robert Granierim, both of whom are vocal supporters of Israel and American support for Israel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent campaign finance <\/span>records<\/span> show the 314 Action Fund received $2.9 million from Bloomberg this year, but no donations from Granierim.<\/span><\/p>\n

By supporting El-Sayed in his primary campaign against Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., 314 Action is making a statement; Stevens is a stalwart advocate of United States support for Israel. The endorsement may come with some financial support, with the group saying it has raised some $25 million to fund its goal of electing more doctors and nurses to office between now and 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud to have 314 Action\u2019s support in this fight and I look forward to working with them in Congress,\u201d El-Sayed said about the endorsement. \u201cI never planned on getting into politics, but when I realized that our healthcare system set Americans up to fail, I had to make a change. The reality is that too many working families are facing impossible decisions that are sometimes life or death. Michiganders deserve better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
