Scientists branch into politics: Group gives boost to STEM candidates running for Congress

AUSTIN — The candidate forum at Scholz Garten, a stone's throw from the Texas State Capitol, was organized by 350.org, a liberal group focused on climate change. Eight of the nine Democrats present, running for open seats in central Texas congressional districts 10, 17, 21, 25 and 35, provided it: Of course, they support a full ban on fracking. The way Trump is going, in 10 years he'll have us back in caves." 314 Action has not endorsed any GOP candidates. When asked whether her organization would consider backing a Republican who supported evidence-based policy, Naughton joked, "Bring me the unicorn." Given the opportunity, "you will find plenty of doctors and scientists who will vote Republican," Temple said. A friend persuaded him to turn the optimization algorithm into a company, RideScout. Except, again, for Kopser. Kopser ducked out of the 350.org forum before it ended, heading to a rally with Moulton.
