State Reform Partner

In partnership with FairVote Illinois

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

"Since 2016 I have been very frustrated with the increasing stratification of the political parties to the extremes of both sides. Our representative republic has thrived on moderation and centrist thinking for more than 200 years. Todd Connor asked me to consider joining VAV; I am honored to be affiliated with anything Todd does."

"After leaving the Army in 2019, I wanted to continue serving my fellow countrymen. In 2020, I ran for the state legislature in IL and while I did not win my race, I do still see it as an incredible learning experience. With that said, I am still looking to serve and better both my community and country in any way I can."
