At least 18 nurses are running for Congress in the upcoming US elections, with 16 candidates seeking House seats and two running for the Senate, according to figures compiled by the American Nurses Association. The number has drawn attention as a sign of growing political engagement by healthcare workers, a group that gained visibility during the pandemic and is now seeking a direct role in health policy-making.
Why now: Voter interest in the upcoming US elections and attention to healthcare workers entering politics are driving the discussion.
