Support 314 Action, Which Helps Elect STEM Candidates to Office

June 21, 2019March 24, 2019 otycd

This OTYCD entry originally posted in August 2017.

Support 314 Action, a nonprofit that helps get people with science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) backgrounds elected to office, and advocates for laws founded on solid science and evidence-based reasoning.

One of the most obnoxious and infuriating aspects of Trump’s election, and of the modern Republican party, is its aggressive contempt for science and reason. 314 Action exists to combat that. (Yes, 314 is a reference to Pi.) It aims to get people with STEM experience elected to Congress, it supports laws that reflect and respect scientific knowledge. 314 Action also calls out members of Congress and high-ranking officials who undermine or flout the facts.

GOOD UPDATE! Democrat Andrew Zwicker WON RE-ELECTION to the New Jersey State Legislature (Reminder October 2019–He’s Running for Re-election)

June 20, 2019October 12, 2019 otycd

Update March 2019: We at OTYCD are nudging this back in the queue because Zwicker is up for re-election in 2019. Please keep him in mind when planning your donations and volunteer work for 2019 campaigns.

This OTYCD entry originally posted in September 2017.

YES YES YES! Democrat Andrew Zwicker won re-election to the New Jersey state legislature! Read more here:

http://www.mycentraljersey.com/story/news/elections/2017/11/08/bateman-zwicker-freiman-win-surprising-election/841885001/

Original text of the post follows.

Help re-elect Democrat Andrew Zwicker to the New Jersey state legislature. The election takes place on November 7, 2017.

In addition to spotlighting five Virginia state-level candidates chosen by Flippable for the upcoming race in November, we at OTYCD are also devoting posts to six candidates chosen by 314 Action whose races fall in 2017. 314 Action is an organization that boosts hopefuls who have STEM backgrounds.

Zwicker was first elected to the New Jersey legislature in January 2016, where he serves on the Judiciary Committee as well as the committees for regulated professions and also for telecommunications and utilities. 314 Action helped him then, and is helping him now. He is the only scientist currently serving in the New Jersey legislature. In addition, he is the first Democrat ever to represent his district. He beat his Republican rival by just 78 votes.

Zwicker holds a Ph.d in physics from Johns Hopkins University and is the Head of Science Education at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. He is also a fellow of the American Physical Society and edits the organization’s newsletter.

In the legislature, he works to make college more affordable and to expand access to pre-K. He accepts climate change and wants the state to rejoin the Regional Greenhouse Gas initiative, in which nine states joined forces to reduce climate-harming emissions. He wants to make sure that laws protecting the environment are enforced. And in all things, he will bring the rigor of a scientist, making decisions based on facts and evidence.

GOOD NEWS! Democrat Chrissy Houlahan WON the Race for Pennsylvania’s 6th District in 2018

May 16, 2019March 27, 2019 otycd2 Comments

Update, March 24, 2018: Houlahan won the Pennsylvania 6th District seat on November 6, 2018, defeating Republican Greg McCauley with 58.9 percent of the vote to his 41.1 percent of the vote. Please consider her for your 2020 Core Four.

Update, May 26, 2018: Houlahan ran unopposed in the May 15 primary and will meet Republican Greg McCauley in the general election on November 6.

Support Chrissy Houlahan, a Democratic candidate for a house seat in Pennsylvania’s 6th District in 2018.

Houlahan is an Air Force veteran who earned her Stanford engineering degree by participating in ROTC. She later earned an M.S. in technology and policy from MIT. She’s been a COO for businesses as well as a nonprofit. She taught chemistry in Philadelphia. She’s the daughter of a Holocaust survivor and a naval officer, and the mother of two grown children. She was moved to run by the outcome of the November 2016 presidential election.

She believes health care, public safety, and public education are all basic rights, and she would legislate accordingly. She wants campaign finance reform. She’d fight climate change and attacks on scientific facts as well.

Houlahan is endorsed by 314 Action, a nonprofit that is devoted to promoting a pro-science agenda on all levels of government, and electing more candidates with STEM backgrounds to office. She’s also endorsed by Emily’s List, VoteVets.org, and End Citizens United, among others. She is committed to defending Planned Parenthood and would resist attempts to undermine Roe v Wade. She supports getting veterans what they need to transition to civilian life and treat their injuries.

The Democratic primary takes place on May 15, 2018. Two other Democrats are running against her. If Houlahan wins the primary, she would face Republican Ryan Costello, who is in his second term as a house rep.

Update March 25, 2018: Costello announced that he would retire from Congress. The candidate filing deadline passed on March 20, so it looks like Houlahan will face Republican Greg McCauley. The two other Democrats have since dropped out, so Houlahan will be the sole candidate on the primary ballot in May.

In 2016, Ballotpedia considered Pennsylvania’s 6th district race safely Republican. Costello won 57.2 percent of the vote to his Democratic challenger’s 42.8 percent.

Support Democrat Mai Khanh Tran’s Bid to Unseat California House Rep Ed Royce (Update June 9, 2018)

June 9, 2018June 9, 2018 otycd

This OTYCD entry originally posted in September 2017.

Update, June 9, 2018: Tran came eighth in the top-two primary held in California’s 39th District on June 5. Democrat Gil Cisneros came in second, with just over 19 percent of votes cast. He will face Republican Young Kim in the fall, as Ed Royce has since decided to retire from Congress. We thank Tran for running and we hope she’ll run for public office again in the future.

Support Democrat Mai Khanh Tran in her effort to push longtime Republican incumbent Ed Royce out of his Congressional House seat in California in 2018.

Tran is a pediatrician who was among the last of the children airlifted from Vietnam. She worked her way through her Harvard undergraduate degree as a janitor. (Pell grants helped, too.) She went on to Dartmouth-Brown Medical School.

She was moved to run after the election when she ministered to a girl suffering from a brain tumor who would lose her insurance coverage if the Affordable Care Act was repealed, as Republicans were threatening to do. She herself is a two-time breast cancer survivor and became a mother at age 46 following eight rounds of IVF treatment.

Tran is going up against Republican Ed Royce, a 12-term House rep in California’s 39th District. The area and Orange County in general used to be a Republican stronghold, but it’s been gradually shifting blue. Tran hopes to take advantage of those facts, but she knows she faces a real fight.

Support Democrat Joseph Kopser, Who Hopes to Fill the Texas House Seat Being Vacated by Republican Lamar Smith (Update May 26, 2018)

May 26, 2018May 26, 2018 otycd1 Comment

Update, May 2018: Kopser won the May 22, 2018 Democratic primary. Hooray! The general election takes place November 6, 2018.

Support Democrat Joseph Kopser, who is running in 2018 for the seat being vacated by Texas Republican Lamar Smith.

Kopser is a West Point Graduate who served 20 years in the U.S. Army and multiple deployments to Iraq. He earned the Bronze Star and the Combat Action Badge. He earned a Master’s in Public Administration from Harvard University. He founded Ridescout, a tech company in Austin, and ultimately sold it to a Fortune 100 company.

Kopser came second in the March 6, 2018 Democratic primary and advanced to the May 22 runoff against Mary Street Wilson. She won 31 percent of the vote to his 29 percent.

Smith had held his House seat for more than 30 years before announcing that he would not run again in 2018. Smith chairs the House Science Committee, and has done a poor job at it, trying to subject National Science Foundation grant reviews to politically-motivated review, among other shenanigans. Worse still, Smith supported Trump early and often. Of course he voted for the GOP’s reckless partisan health care bill.

Kopser promises to be smarter, better, and saner than Smith, as well as a hell of a lot more responsive to the district’s constituents.

Support Democrat Aruna Miller, Who Is Running for a House Seat in Maryland’s 6th District

May 4, 2018March 24, 2018 otycd

Support Democrat Aruna Miller, who is running for a House of Representatives seat in Maryland’s 6th District.

Miller’s family moved from India to America when she was seven. She relied on Pell Grants, student loans, and her job earnings to get her college education as a civil engineer. She has more than two decades of experience working as a transportation engineer in local governments in California, Virginia, Hawaii, and Maryland.

In 2010, she ran and won a seat in the Maryland House of Delegates from the state’s 15th District, and has held that elected position ever since. Her state-level accomplishments include pursuing bills that repealed the death penalty, established marriage equality, prevented the sale of e-cigarettes to minors, expanded background checks for gun purchases, and increasing the minimum wage.

If elected she would fight Trump’s attempts to trample on civil rights, reproductive rights, and voters’ rights. She would protect veterans’ benefits, Social Security, and Medicare. She believes health care is a right and would vote accordingly. She wants to expand STEM education and make college more affordable.

Three-term Democratic incumbent John Delaney is vacating the seat to run for president in 2020. The Cook Political Report rates Maryland’s 6th District as Solid Democrat.

Miller will face seven other Democrats in the June 26, 2018 primary. Four Republicans, a Green Party candidate, an Independent, and a Libertarian have all committed to run.

Read the original blog text here:

Support Democrat Cheryl Turpin’s run for the Virginia state legislature. The election happens on November 7, 2017.

If Turpin seems vaguely familiar, she should. She ran for the Virginia state legislature in a special election in early January and lost, earning 47 percent of the vote to Republican Rocky Holcomb’s 53 percent. She faces him again in November.

Turpin has served as a high school science teacher for 24 years. She supports full-day public kindergarten, a living wage, and defending the environment. She wants to encourage young entrepreneurs by offering them loans to start small businesses. She wants to expand broadband access. She supports overhauls of the state’s criminal justice and mental health systems. She would promote recycling. She would increase spending on infrastructure to improve roads and alleviate traffic jams.

Support Roger Dean Huffstetler’s Run for a House Rep Seat in Virginia’s 5th District in 2018

March 30, 2018April 15, 2018 otycd

Support Roger Dean Huffstetler, who is running to represent Virginia’s 5th District as a Congressional House rep in 2018.

Huffstetler was working his way toward a Ph.D in chemistry at Harvard University when he left to join the Marines. He served in Iraq and Afghanistan and later served as chief of staff for Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton (who is also endorsed by 314 Action).

Huffstetler is running against Republican Tom Cotton, a first-term incumbent who shot himself in the foot in epic fashion by meeting with some of the people who organized the neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville well before it happened. (Virginia’s 5th District contains the University of Virginia at Charlottesville.) Cotton rejects climate science and is a member of the House Freedom Caucus–in all, a very strange fit for a district that leans moderate. Huffstetler has a decent shot at taking the Congressional seat.

The Democratic primary takes place on May 5, 2018. Huffstetler is one of four candidates in that contest.

GOOD UPDATE! Democrat Ralph Northam WON The Virginia Governor’s Race!

March 28, 2018February 25, 2018 otycd

This OTYCD entry originally posted in September 2017.

YES YES YES! As of 9:45 pm EST on November 7, 2017, with 98 percent of the vote recorded, Democrat Ralph Northam held 53.4 percent of the vote to Republican Ed Gillespie’s 45.4 percent. HOORAY!

Original text of the ‘Support Ralph Northam’ post follows:

Support Democrat Ralph Northam’s run for governor of Virginia. The election takes place on November 7, 2017.

Northam is the sitting Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, under Tim Kaine. He was a Virginia state senator from 2008 to 2014. He is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and Eastern Virginia Medical School. He became a pediatric neurologist. He also served as an Army doctor in Germany in the 1990s. He cares for terminally ill children as a volunteer medical director Edmarc Hospice for Children, a local facility.

Northam wants to strengthen the state’s public schools through adding universal pre-K, raising the salaries of public school teachers, and other measures. He would vigorously defend reproductive rights from Republican efforts to curtail them. He notes climate change as a separate health concern on his web site, noting its effects on respiratory illnesses. He supports common-sense legislation on guns. His Justice and Equality page specifically notes that people of color have been treated differently from whites, and he would strive to make the justice system fairer by reforming drug laws and ceasing the practice of suspending the drivers’ licenses of people who can’t pay court costs.

Northam has the endorsements of sitting Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, state Attorney General Mark Herring, the Democratic caucuses of both Virginia legislative houses, NARAL, and the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, among others. He endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race.
