Brothers and Sisters,
Five years ago this month, we launched Veterans for All Voters with a conviction that Americans deserved better politics. I could never have imagined what this community would become or the impact you would have. You built something extraordinary!
Next week is Election Day. Most of the country will be watching the candidates. Political pundits will be talking about whether Team Red or Team Blue "wins." Many of us will be hoping independent candidates can finally break through the duopoly.
But there's a bigger fight underway over whether our political system serves everyday Americans or keeps rewarding political elites who benefit from keeping it broken. This is our fight.
Veterans for All Voters has been heads-down, focused on 12+ reform campaigns in 9 states across our country. These campaigns protect and expand our power as voters to hold politicians accountable to all of us. If we want leaders who put people first, we have to change what it takes to win and stay in office.
From Bryan Schroder and Shaina Kilcoyne in Alaska, to Dustin Cathcart in Massachusetts. David Oclander in Montana. Josh Daniels in Utah. Tony Haas in Colorado. Dan Collins and Daniel O'Dell in Kentucky. Alongside so many others, you're showing up, organizing your neighbors, and making sure voters have a voice. You are doing this work!
Below, you'll see some highlights from some of the campaigns we're participating in. Each is part of a larger fight to put power where it belongs, back in the hands of "we the people."
And stay tuned. In the coming weeks, we'll share more of the work you're making possible, from these ballot initiatives and beyond. Election Day is a milestone. Our work continues.
Onward!
Eric Bronner
Track Ballot Measures we support
Election night is November 3, and we're tracking all 12 election reform measures on the ballot across nine states in one place: where we stand, what each one does, and how it's doing as the returns come in. Bookmark the tracker and follow along with us.
Campaign Highlights
Missouri Amendment 6 would protect voter-approved constitutional amendments by requiring an 80% legislative supermajority and another public vote before lawmakers could change them.
VAV Founder and Navy veteran Eric Bronner explains why respecting the will of Missouri voters matters to him.
VAV Massachusetts State Leader and veteran Dustin Cathcart explains why he supports Question 3.
With some of the least competitive elections in the country, Massachusetts voters deserve greater choice, accountability, and competition.
Watch the IG ReelMontana native and retired Army Lt. Col. Tanya Reinhardt explains why she supports CI-133.
The measure would protect Montanans' right to propose and vote on citizen-led ballot initiatives while promoting a fair and accountable process.
