Elect Scientists

We are dedicated to the election of more candidates - at all levels of government - with scientific credentials. Let's #GOTV and elect more scientists.

[Elect Scientists @ElectScientists]

Candidates to follow endorsed by @ClimateHawkVote:

@seancasten IL-6
@janasanchez TX-6
@karaforcongress NE-2
@samjammal CA39
@kdeleon CA-SEN

[314 Action @314action]

“Scientists could hold the key—if city leaders will invite them in as partners.”

Or we could elect some instead of waiting for the invitation.

Adopt a pro-STEM candidate this midterm. We can not afford for this to go on without a check and balance.

For the love of #STEM, PLEASE send a donation to scientist/clean energy entrepreneur @SeanCasten. His opponent @PeterRoskam has now used the imaginary term “average median” on 3 separate occasions, including on his website.

.@PeterRoskam says “average median” income in #IL06 is $135K.

There is no such thing as “average median”. It’s 2 distinct statistical terms arbitrarily stuck together by a math-illiterate politician parroting talking points he doesn’t understand.

Also, my catdog weighs 26 lbs.

In #VA02, climate change is a real and present threat to our way of life. In Congress, I will be committed to finding evidence-based solutions to promote Coastal Virginia's resiliency.

Sitting here watching the the Tour and reading about how cycling footage is now being used to document climate change. Scary - but darned interesting too. https://t.co/6TZ8Nh1SEZ

[Elect Scientists @ElectScientists]

Amazing news: The #IL06 race, where scientist and @ClimateHawkVote & @314action endorsed candidate @SeanCasten is challenging climate-denying Republican @PeterRoskam, was just changed to tossup! https://t.co/xjFYFU1jAl

[Flip the 6th IL @FlipThe6thIL]

HUGE RACE NEWS: @LarrySabato @center4politics just changed #IL06 from "lean Republican" to tossup. Here we go @SeanCasten!

...and thus the Trump administration continues to solidify their legacy of auctioning the future for short-term gain.

[Elect Scientists @ElectScientists]

In #IL06, scientist @SeanCasten is neck-and-neck with Republican incumbent @PeterRoskam - a climate denier who doesn’t know what the D in R&D stands for.

ACTIVATE, SCIENCE NERDS:

1) Follow @@SeanCasten.
2) Consider making a small donation.
3) Tell your friends. https://t.co/7MEarujPVl

[Flip the 6th IL @FlipThe6thIL]

.@PeterRoskam, the sitting Congressman of #IL06 - a district flanked by @Fermilab and @argonne - literally does not know what the "D" in "R&D" stands for.

We have a chance to replace him with an actual scientist - @SeanCasten - in November. Let's not blow it.

MC Climate Change is Junk Science https://t.co/yP1xwQ2yDs

[Elect Scientists @ElectScientists]

One under-reported consequence of climate change: a spike in farmer suicides. Climate change doesn’t care if you believe in it. It doesn’t discriminate. And it is going to wreak havoc to this country and earth if we don’t elect folks who will act NOW. https://t.co/9Cyzj6oEyU

[Elect Scientists @ElectScientists]

Why. Devastating. https://t.co/ASWT5F9flS

[ThinkProgress @thinkprogress]

Key science agency drops climate change from mission priorities https://t.co/69uKzYO0fd

[Elect Scientists @ElectScientists]

Because oceans aren’t that important anyway.

Are we paying attention yet? https://t.co/vwctwyHVOL

[The Hill @thehill]

Trump admin orders federal scientists to get permission before speaking with media: report https://t.co/CzDTYb34v1

[Elect Scientists @ElectScientists]

@FlipThe6thIL @SeanCasten @PeterRoskam We’ll take the “corrects himself when he’s wrong” candidate over the “climate change is junk science” candidate, thanks.

[Elect Scientists @ElectScientists]

We can’t do anything about the mass exodus of science expertise from the executive branch, but we can push science-focused candidates into the legislative branch this November. We must. https://t.co/tTLVk4GQ8q

[Steve Silberman @stevesilberman]

The Trump administration now has no senior science advisors on nuclear weapons, food safety, cybersecurity and pandemics, but don't worry, because Trump has really good gut instincts, or something https://t.co/aHYNZO8B7k

[Elect Scientists @ElectScientists]

Asbestos. Totally safe. Only conspiracy theorists and the entire scientific community thinks otherwise.

[Elect Scientists @ElectScientists]

It was a rough Tuesday in CA for science-focused candidates. No time to lick our wounds, though - let’s pick up and focus on the great candidates who did make it through.

@EdwardTHardy Two favorites: @SeanCasten & @jessphoenix2018

[Flip the 6th IL @FlipThe6thIL]

It is the year 2018. A member of the Congress of the United States just blamed sea level rise on “a lot of very small rocks falling in the ocean.” He is also a member of the House Committee on Science, Space & Technology.

That’s not how this works

That not how any of this works

[Sean Casten @SeanCasten]

Reasonable people can disagree about how to deal with climate change. But there is no reasonable case for choosing not even to measure it. Not knowing things is no basis for public policy. https://t.co/6vKs8lKcoo
