VoteVets is committed to electing more progressive veterans — not just to Congress, but to local and state offices as well. Veterans like Jasper Watkins III.
Jasper is a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the Army and served 25 years as an Army pharmacist. He received the Legion of Merit, the highest peacetime military award, along with the Award of Excellence in Allied Health Care, the Order of Military Medical Merit, and several other military decorations and honors.

His state has been in the news recently because state Republicans passed one of the strictest voting laws in the country, making it illegal to pass out water or snacks to voters waiting in long lines and making it more difficult to vote by mail, which is how so many troops and veterans cast their ballots.
This is a reminder of how important it is to elect leaders on the local and state level like Jasper, who is standing up for his community in Georgia.
If you want to support veterans like Jasper — who are running to make change in their communities — make a contribution to support our Emerging Leaders program today. Your donation will not only help elect veterans on the local and state level, but also help create a pipeline of veteran candidates that runs all the way to Washington, DC. [[link removed]]

Change doesn’t come from nowhere.
It comes from the grassroots, from our state houses and school boards. That’s why we need to invest in the leaders on the local level who share our values.
Thank you for your support.
