JOHN, good morning.
20 years ago, VoteVets did not exist.
There was no political operation of scale and strength that could recruit and support Veterans and National Security Professionals in races from coast-to-coast, in every state of our nation.
Over the last 20 years, we built that operation. We supported candidates like Ruben Gallego, an original VoteVets State Captain in Arizona. Tammy Duckworth, Mark Kelly, Tim Walz, and more. We were there at the beginning of their campaigns because we believed in each of them.
Yesterday’s results in New Jersey and Virginia were decades in the making. From Abigail and Mikie’s first campaigns for Congress in districts nobody expected to win, across re-election campaigns in the years after, and now with two victorious governors-elect.
But yesterday has as much to do with other candidates as it does with Abigail and Mikie. VoteVets members won their races in down-ballot campaigns in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia as well. Their willingness to continue serving their country out of uniform — especially now — gives me immense hope. VoteVets looks forward to supporting them in the years to come.
Make no mistake: VoteVets was on the ballot yesterday. VoteVets members consistently win in races no other candidate could. And when you donate to VoteVets, your donation goes directly towards campaigns like Abigail’s, Mikie’s, and all of the others who won last night. It has an impact bigger than you might expect.
In the Army, we would call that a force multiplier. In politics, it’s just good tactics.
So, with that in mind, I am asking you to chip in $5 to VoteVets. There are thousands of candidates who need your support ahead of their campaigns in 2026. Our democracy is on the line, and the work to save it starts now.
