Spring Political and Development Internship

314 Action is a grassroots community powered by over 400,000 donors working to elect Democratic scientists and other STEM candidates who will use science and facts to address some of our most pressing issues like climate change and health care.

Since its inception in 2016, 314 has quickly become a leader nationally with its unique focus on candidate recruitment and early-stage candidate support.  In 2020, we helped flip U.S.

Senate seats in Arizona and Colorado by drafting Capt.

Mark Kelly and former Gov.

John Hickenlooper to successfully run for office.

In the 2022 cycle, we recruited and helped elect Rep Melanie Stansbury (NM-02) in a special election as well as Rep Eric Sorensen (IL-17).  In the 2024 cycle, we recruited and helped elect seven new House members, including three who flipped their districts red to blue, Rep Janelle Bynum (OR-05), Rep George Whitesides (CA-27), and Rep John Mannion (NY-22).

We raised and spent over $14 million last cycle towards our endorsed STEM candidates campaigns across 46 states from school board to US Senate. 74% of our 2022 endorsed STEM candidates identify as women, people of color or LGBTQ+.

In total, 314 has endorsed over 1000 candidates at all levels of the ballot resulting in hundreds of new STEM electeds.

In 2014, we raised and spent over $14 million towards our endorsed STEM candidates campaigns across 46 states from school board to US Senate. 74% of our 2022 endorsed STEM candidates identify as women, people of color or LGBTQ+.   We are accepting applications for Spring 2026 internships with a time commitment of 20-32 hours a week. 314’s Interns are hired approximately one month from their expected start date.
