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

"I support VAV and the Final 5 campaign because the current system doesn’t represent the people. No matter the issue, the solution begins with having our voices heard and represented by those we elect, but in areas where districts consistently elect from the same political party, the real election occurs in the primaries. The problem is that the current closed-primary election system disenfranchises citizens who don’t align with a major political party. Rather than appealing to all their constituents, politicians are fighting for votes within their own party. This gives us more and more extreme candidates moving on to the general elections, and the rest of us get stuck choosing between the lesser of two evils. VAV is working to change that, to give us all a voice in choosing officials who actually represent us, and that is the America I fought for."

"Structure dictates strategy. I agree with VAV that our current political industry has metastasized into a division-driven system which values moats more than bridges. To bring our nation back together, we need to change the status quo, and I believe the political innovations laid out by VAV is the most efficient way to achieve that goal. Veterans for All Voters is in the business of ‘how’, not ‘who’. That’s a conversation worth fighting for."
