A PAC that’s recruited a record number of math and science professionals to run for office is looking for the Democratic Party’s attention.
314 Action is expanding its list of congressional race targets to include six districts it believes have been “overlooked.” Three of those races — Arkansas’ 2nd District, and Minnesota’s and Montana’s 1st districts — are not on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s target list.
“We really see this as helping expand the map for Democrats and the DCCC. They may not have these races on their list yet, but I think they’re going to be looking towards districts where there are strong candidates,” said Erik Polyak, the executive director of 314 Action.
