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

"Politics in our country has reached a dangerously level of toxicity, and we need new ideas on how to make elections better represent the will of the People, not the partisans of each party. I believe open primaries and RCV are ideas whose time has come and I feel helping get these changes enacted are a mission I can get purpose and meaning from. There are other organizations like Unite America organizing for this, but if I can stand with fellow Veterans, that's where I want to be."

"I consider myself a strongly patriotic citizen with political opinions that largely run down the center of the spectrum. In my earlier years, I loved a good debate on the issues and can often see the merits of a counter argument. Over the last 24 years, I believe our political system and by connection our government has become badly broken to a point where non-serious, unqualified clowns who are ill eqiupped and unmotivated to actually solve our country's problems have become the increasing norm for our elected officials. Politics is often about compromise. I believe the work that VFAV is doing is a critical step towards changing the political/election process that is failing us so badly and that currently rewards extremism and conflict over compromise."
