The Idea
Inspiring and educating one of America’s most-trusted institutions, veterans, to mobilize and advocate for election innovations that will help repair some of America’s least-trusted institutions (the political system and Congress).


The military veteran population is a cross-section of American society, and military veterans and supporters know how to leverage individual differences to accomplish a mission.

Here are a few reasons why Veterans lead

— Statistics
America is Failing
-
Partisan polarization in Congress is at its highest levels in more than 100 years. *
-
The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index ranked the United States’ democracy 25th in the world, labeling our Nation a flawed democracy. *
-
The 116th Congress had a near record-low 15% approval rating, yet 95% of its members were re-elected in the last election. *
-
Public trust reached a three-decade high shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but declined quickly thereafter. Since 2007, the share saying they can trust the government always or most of the time has not surpassed 30%. *
— Let's take action
How we win
Focused electoral innovations led by state-based coalitions can restore the health of our democracy. Military veterans and their supporters can play a unique and strategic role in realizing these innovations and have a desire to serve and lead their country
