Team — When Congress fails to do its job, veterans are the ones who pay the price.

Currently, due to the government shutdown, thousands of active-duty service members and veterans are going without pay. Military families are being forced to stretch every dollar just to get by — all because politicians in Washington are more interested in playing partisan games than solving problems.

As a Marine who served in Afghanistan, Evan Munsing saw firsthand the sacrifices our men and women in uniform make. On the battlefield, Marines risk their lives for one another, putting mission and country above everything else. Their families shouldn’t have to worry about whether they’ll be able to pay rent or put food on the table because Congress can’t get its act together.

Evan Munsing knows what it means to serve — and he knows what leadership looks like because he’s been on the front lines where nothing is guaranteed. It’s time for a new generation of disciplined leaders in Congress that put service before politics and deliver for those who’ve sacrificed the most.

Our campaign is building a broad coalition that values veterans, military families, and every American who just wants a government that keeps its word.

Can you stand with Evan Munsing by donating $10 or whatever you can today to help us fight for real leadership that honors service, not party politics?

We owe our veterans more than lip service — we owe them action. Let’s get to work.
