Friend,

Today is Veterans Day. This isn't just a day for parades; it's a solemn reminder of the promise every service member makes: an oath to the Constitution, not a political party or a single person.

I spent 26 years in the U.S. Navy and Air Force, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in the JAG Corps. That oath, guided by the Air Force core values of integrity first and service before self defined my approach to federal ethics and court-martial cases. It’s why I'm running for Senate today.

Because when I look at Washington, I don't see leaders upholding that oath. I see career politicians like Mike Rounds who put party loyalty and corporate donor money ahead of the very principles we swore to defend.

They let the government shut down, using furloughed federal employees and veterans as political pawns.
They engage in insider stock trading scandals that make a mockery of public service.
They refuse to tell the truth and put their constituents first, because the establishment rewards chaos and self-dealing.

This Veterans Day, I'm not just asking you to thank a veteran. I'm asking you to send one to the Senate to finish the mission.

The only way to break the toxic gridlock and demand accountability from both parties is by building an Independent caucus of principled leaders who cannot be bought or bullied. Our campaign, fueled by you, is the most strategic investment in that future.

Will you honor the oath today by making a donation to help me fund the fight for integrity in the U.S. Senate?

My commitment is the same one I made decades ago: I’ll always put service before self. Your donation today funds a campaign that answers to the Constitution, not the D.C. Country Club.

Thank you, and Happy Veterans Day.

Thank you for standing with me,
Brian Bengs
