Hi Peter,
Continuing our Storytelling Series, we’re proud to highlight Veterans for All Voters (VAV), an organization making significant strides in electoral reform. Founded in October 2021, VAV harnesses the discipline and unity of veterans to advance election innovations across the country. Specifically, they advocate for open primaries and top four or five instant runoff general elections – meaning the top four or five finishers – regardless of party – advance to the general election ballot (and whoever earns a majority, wins).
Key Insights from Our Interview with VAV Leaders:
- Inspiration Behind VAV: CEO Todd Connor and COO Eric Bronner share their journey to founding VAV. From recognizing the broken political system to leveraging their experiences and independent-mindedness, they’ve built an organization focused on systemic solutions for election reform.
- Empowering Veterans in Reform Efforts: VAV leverages veterans’ trust and moral authority to amplify state-based reform efforts. Their authentic stories and experiences play a pivotal role in advocating for change.
- Growth and Opportunities: VAV’s initiative has grown rapidly, with over 260 volunteer veterans across 47 states, reflecting a commitment to nationwide engagement and reform. Reach out to learn more about how to get involved as a volunteer or a donor.
We invite you to read the full interview to understand how VAV unites veterans in the fight for a better political system. Join us in celebrating their efforts to bring meaningful change to our democracy.
Warm holiday wishes,
Alana
