DELANO, CA — Today, Dr. Jasmeet Bains was endorsed by 314 Action Fund for her campaign for California’s 22nd Congressional District. 314 Action Fund is the nation’s only organization dedicated to recruiting, training, and electing scientists and doctors.

“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 Fund. “California’s 22nd District is home to the most Medicaid recipients of any House Republican in the country, 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. Bains’ campaign for Congress is also endorsed by EMILY’s List, AAPI Victory Fund, Elect Democratic Women, ASPIRE PAC, Healthcare for Action, FamMed Pac, NUHW, Delano Police Officers Association, SEIU California, IBEW Local 428, Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, nine members of the California Congressional Delegation, and dozens of community advocates and civic leaders. Last quarter, Dr. Jasmeet Bains set a record-breaking first-quarter fundraising total that outpaced every challenger in this district.
