"It is all too clear to anyone who is politically active that our system is not having its finest hour. Many of our current leaders are out of touch with their constituents, and are beyond challenge due to their established power and big-money sponsors. We need a change in how we pick our leaders, so that we have representation that addresses our current and future problems in a way that benefits regular people and not just special interest. The voting reform advocated for by Veterans for All Voters is absolutely vital to ensure we stay a functional republic of the people, by the people, and for the people."

"I’ve worked in politics on both sides of the aisle and am an active and engaged voter. While I have been interested in civic leadership for a long time, I am disheartened by the hyper partisanship and increasing divisive, toxic rhetoric and polarizing politics in the U.S. I am committed to being a part of the solution. I firmly believe we need to elect and support respectful, consensus building people who put the good of our country before the extremes of a party first."

"I read somewhere that, "today’s veterans often come home to find that, although they’re willing to die for their country, they’re not sure how to live for it. It’s hard to know how to live for a country that regularly treats itself apart along every possible political and demographic boundary." Love what this movement represents, at the highest ideal of what this country represents, leveraging veterans' can-do attitude to set the example."

"The VAV mission is the most compelling follow on to my twenty years of uniformed service. Our political discourse and momentum is carrying us in a divided and frightening direction, and the opportunity to play a small part in a large course correction honors my service and all those I was privileged to serve alongside."
