HuffPost called it \u201cthe largest number of scientists to run for public office in modern history.\u201d Neither organization provided updated numbers of candidates following the primary elections.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump\u2019s battle against climate change science emerged anew when he accused scientists behind climate change research of having a \u201cvery big political agenda\u201d during a \u201c60 Minutes\u201d interview with Lesley Stahl that aired on Oct. 14.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think something\u2019s happening. Something\u2019s changing and it\u2019ll change back again,\u201d Trump said, when Stahl asked if he still thought climate change was a hoax. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s a hoax, I think there\u2019s probably a difference. But I don\u2019t know that it\u2019s manmade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His remarks came less than a week after Category 4 storm Hurricane Michael devasted Florida and the U.N.\u2019s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report warning that the current rate of Earth\u2019s warming will raise temperatures to a level that will incite intensifying food shortages, wildfires and massive coral reef loss as soon as 2040.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Trump asserted that he will not adapt his economic policies to limit fossil fuel usage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to give trillions and trillions of dollars. I don\u2019t want to lose millions and millions of jobs,\u201d Trump told Stahl. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be put at a disadvantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The IPCC report builds on the scientific community\u2019s consensus that Earth\u2019s climate is changing due to human activity and that impacts of climate change will be widespread and severe.<\/p>\n<p>Casten, a clean energy entrepreneur who holds master\u2019s degrees in biochemical engineering and engineering management, is heavily focusing his first political bid on energy and climate policy. He pledges to champion stronger pollution standards and mandates for fossil energy reduction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScientists work by looking for truth, without any pre-ordained agenda about where that truth lies,\u201d he said the day after CBS broadcast Trump\u2019s comments. \u201cThe truth is that climate change represents an economic opportunity for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Foster, a physicist who has held office since 2013, likewise denounced Trump\u2019s \u201c60 Minutes\u201d comments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This interview is an unfortunate example of the President&#8217;s inability to understand the importance of science,&#8221; Foster said in a statement. &#8220;Federal funding for scientific research has helped grow our economy and improve the lives of millions of Americans with vaccines, digital electronics, life-saving medical treatments, and science-based environmental regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Foster holds a Ph.D. in physics and conducted research for the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia for 25 years before turning to politics. His campaign advocates increased investments in scientific research, including research around new energy technologies.<\/p>\n<p>First-time candidate Lauren Underwood is a registered nurse who served as a senior advisor at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the Obama administration. Underwood supports expanding access to healthcare, investments in renewable energy and a fully funded Environmental Protection Agency.<\/p>\n<p>The November elections will reveal how much the public values STEM candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Casten faces incumbent Peter Roskam (R) in a highly competitive race. Casten said an internal poll released on Oct. 8 showed him with a five-point lead.<\/p>\n<p>The Chicago Tribune editorial board endorsed Foster over his Republican opponent Nick Stella, while Underwood raised four times as much as her opponent, Rep. Randy Hultgren, in the third Federal Election Commission filing quarter, according to a press release issued by her campaign on Oct. 16.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m progressive because I recognize that climate change is real and that we need to have solutions that would stem the impact of climate change,\u201d Underwood told the\u00a0Chicago Tribune.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: Protesters rallied for clean energy entrepreneur Sean Casten (D) from Illinois&#8217; 6th Congressional District outside a debate between Casten and his opponent, Peter Roskam.
