This public health crisis is showing just how much we need more medical professionals in elected office across the country. Whether that be in the U.S. Senate, the House of Representatives, the state house, or the city council.

That’s why our president @Schriock1 is on a press call right now with five incredible medical professionals and EMILY’s List-endorsed candidates/ elected officials:

@BarbaraBollier
@DrKimSchrier
@hiral4congress
@KayserEnneking
@YadiraCaraveo

There has NEVER been a woman doctor in the Senate.

@BarbaraBollier is ready to change that!

Join us to send a woman doctor to the U.S. Senate.

"I'm running because we need a steady voice of reason representing us — and someone who believes in SCIENCE.

As a doctor, I understand our health care system is too expensive and too complicated. Our health care system is in crisis and we must do better." —@BarbaraBollier

As she’s running for Senate, Barbara has been using her medical background to spread FACTS about COVID-19 to the people of Kansas.

In November we have the opportunity to elect @hiral4congress, a former emergency room physician, to Congress.

Help this doctor cross the finish line and bring necessary leadership to Arizona’s sixth congressional district.

.@hiral4congress has spent her life as a problem solver — focusing her work on facts and data.

Now more than ever, we understand how important it is to have representatives who are focused on evidence-based approaches to benefit us all.

In 2018, @DrKimSchrier became the only woman doctor in the U.S. House of Representatives. Since then, she’s been a leader on health care, paid family leave, and so much more.

Help us make sure that she’s reelected to the House in November.

Voices like @DrKimSchrier's are absolutely critical.

They know what it means to be forward-thinking, to prepare for pandemics, and to share their knowledge with their constituents.

And we don't just need more medical experts in Congress! We need them at the federal, state, and local level as well.

.@KayserEnneking is running for Florida’s 21st state House District. A former educator, a caregiver, and an anesthesiologist, Kayser knows how important it is that everyone has access to affordable health care.

.@KayserEnneking's work as a practicing physician and health care leader has strengthened the quality of care provided to patients in her district. And now she’s helping to provide resources to help Floridians address COVID-19.

Two decades of a Republican trifecta in Tallahassee has failed to improve the lives of Floridians — we know that it’s time for new leadership in the legislature. #FLPol

Follow and get to know Dr. @KayserEnneking.

.@YadiraCaraveo is a pediatrician serving as state representative for Colorado’s 31st state House District.

Like she says, “no one knows health care like the individuals who deliver it every day.” 👏

When the Colorado state legislature went into recess in March, @YadiraCaraveo went back to work as a pediatrician.

Immediately she saw the need for PPE and saw the fear that so many families face when deciding whether or not to seek care.

And every single day, @YadiraCaraveo continues fighting for legislation that will ensure that people have access to health care during — and after — this pandemic.

We're so glad she's bringing her experience to the Colorado state House. #ElectWomen

We need more doctors, nurses, and scientists in elected offices across the country.

RT if you agree.
