Veterans are answering the call to serve again and running for Congress. These next-generation veterans face significant obstacles to running since the cost of a campaign can be prohibitive for veterans without affluent networks.
We will support a select group of veteran candidates who take The Pledge to put principles before politics and lead with civility, integrity, and courage, including the courage to meet with a Member from an opposing party once a month and sponsor legislation with colleagues on both sides of the aisle once a year.
Our mission is to elect principled next-generation veterans to office who will work in a cross-partisan way to create a more effective and less polarized government.
Our vision is a government that works for and is trusted by Americans, where principled veterans represent a significant percentage of elected positions at all levels.
– Former Defense Secretary and CIA Director Robert Gates
