State Leaders are on-the-ground advocates for election innovations in their home states. The situation on the ground is different in each state.

We believe that military veterans can play an out-sized role as leaders and organizers in this movement to enact structural reforms and restore American’s faith in their Democratic Republic.

Volunteer Testimonials

"The old parties are driven by campaign contributions. Large corporations, special interests and super-wealthy individuals, have bought undue influence in government. Veterans and others who have made real contributions to the nation are ignored because we can't and won't buy influence. Instead we can work together and create the changes our country desperately needs."
Treat Gilbert
U.S. Navy Veteran
"The voting system in the U.S. has never really prioritized fair and open elections. During my time in the military I know for a fact that many of my absentee ballots were not counted (sending from overseas and stateside) for a variety of silly reasons. Additionally, dealing with these rigid electoral processes in a deeply entrenched conservative state has made me feel like my vote does not count here (and I'm a white lady, so I can't imagine how BIPOC folks feel). I love hearing veteran voices and I love a potential avenue for electoral evolution--the combo is even better."
