Nurses for Underwood 2022

Please join Nurses in supporting

Congresswoman Lauren Underwood, RN

Thursday, May 12th

7:00 - 7:45 PM CT

Virtual event details will be provided closer to the event.

Leading up to National Nurses Week (May 6th-May 12th) we're raising money to support Lauren Underwood as she runs for reelection in IL-14. 

Lauren graduated from the University of Michigan School of Nursing and obtained her Master of Science in Nursing and Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins University.

In Congress, Lauren co-founded the Black Maternal Health Caucus, which strives to improve maternal health outcomes and eliminate disparities for birthing people across the country. She currently has the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act of 2021 before the House and it is included in the 2022 Build Back Better Act. She accomplished much in her first three years in Congress.

In 2021, Lauren had four pieces of legislation enacted into law including the Health Care Affordability Act. In 2020, she passed the Veterans’ Care Quality Transparency Act to ensure veterans have access to mental health and suicide prevention services. Lauren knows how hard nurses have been working and how stretched nursing schools are now. She voted for the Build Back Better Act which includes historic funding ($500M) for nursing education and research.

Lauren won her 2020 election by a narrow margin and needs our support. She already has five Republican opponents, who hold values that are dangerous to our community. You may not be able to vote for her but she will vote for nursing!

Whether you can donate $25 or the max of $2,900, we want you to be a part of Nurses for Underwood at this critical time. Please also consider a recurring contribution!
