Friends,
As a Marine in Afghanistan, I led patrols through villages contested by the Taliban and I saw firsthand the futility of the Forever Wars.
And that’s what Congress is so often missing these days: people who have seen these conflicts firsthand.
We are at an all-time low of veterans serving in Congress since World War II.
This trend hurts all of us, not just our troops -- because veterans offer a unique perspective in Congress, and are able to work together to get things done while still sticking to our principles.
VoteVets has put countless dollars and work hours behind the campaigns of veteran candidates like me for just that reason.
So today, I am reaching out to ask you to donate to VoteVets so they can continue to invest in the campaigns of progressive veterans like me and stand up for the interests of our troops, veterans and military families in Washington. Will you pitch in before their end-of-month deadline hits on Monday?

As someone who served their country both in uniform and now in Congress, I am especially proud to see VoteVets standing up to the insurrectionists who tried to overthrow our democracy on January 6th.
Our nation is at a critical impasse and we have to decide who leads: Those who will defend our democracy above all else, or Trump-sycophants who have never served anything beside their own self-interest their entire lives.
Thank you for reading, and for contributing to support VoteVets if you can.
All my best,
Jake Auchincloss
Congressman MA-4
