Congressman Dr. Ami Bera of California’s 6th District, a founding member of the Congressional Doctors Caucus, announced on December 8 that he is endorsing Dr. Tina Shah in her campaign for New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District.

“I am proud to endorse Dr. Tina Shah for Congress in New Jersey’s 7th District,” Dr. Bera said in a statement. “As a fellow physician, I know she understands the healthcare crisis – and will bring real-world tested solutions to lower costs and make it easier for every New Jerseyan and American to get quality healthcare. I look forward to welcoming her to the Congressional Doctors Caucus.”

Dr. Shah, an intensive care physician and longtime advocate for expanding access to quality care, welcomed the endorsement. “I’m honored to have Congressman Bera’s support,” she said. “As a physician and a national leader on healthcare policy, Congressman Bera understands exactly what’s at stake for families as Trump, RFK Jr, and Congressional Republicans gut our healthcare.”

Dr. Shah added that she intends to continue prioritizing healthcare access if elected. “I look forward to joining Congressman Bera in the Congressional Doctors Caucus to continue my life’s work of increasing access to high-quality, affordable healthcare,” she added.
