Only three current members of Congress have Ph.D.s in a science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) field.

Jerry McNerney Democrat CA-11 Mathematics University of New Mexico

Bill Foster Democrat IL-11
Physics Harvard University

Shri Thanedar Democrat MI-13 Chemistry (Polymers/Organometallics) University of Akron

No current US Senators have one.

We can add another in the US House in 2026:

Megan O’Rourke (Democrat), running for NJ-7, got her Ph.D. in agricultural ecology from Cornell University, earned tenure at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), and worked as a government scientist—until President Donald Trump’s administration left her work in limbo.

Hopefully there are others running as well.

We need far more STEM Ph.D. scientists and far less bankers/investors, business executives, corporate lawyers, etc in Congress.
