Veterans – It is more critical than ever that your voice is heard. Your VOTE counts. Please visit our VETS2VOTE Page for more details if you need to register to vote or need information about where to vote.
On active duty, we all consciously served beyond politics as we swore an oath to Support and Defend the Constitution of the United States, not a party or a political leader. Now as citizens and Veterans, all members of AVV understand the urgency to step forward once again in Service. We believe the oath we took did not end with our departure from military service but continues through today. We also welcome all our Veteran Supporters who have joined us!
Our nation struggles to keep our constitutional republic intact, heal and unite communities, and restore love and respect for our great nation and people. We seek change through the ballot box. Every Veteran, Every Vote has tremendous collective power in the unity of our voice, action, and VOTES.

We are a group of Veterans and like-minded supporters who, while in the Service, focused on the mission, and not politics. But after serving, we soon realized our values and interests were often poorly represented by elected leaders. We banded together to do something about it!
We established American Veterans Vote to act collectively as Veterans and Veteran Supporters to promote change with our significant number of votes through the ballot box!
We believe that Veterans are problem solvers by nature and believe in the power of teamwork. If a tough job needs to get done, Veterans typically step forward to volunteer and act!
The military is a leadership clinic from day one. As Veterans, we recognize good and poor leadership. We already lead in many aspects of community life. We believe the political space also needs the talents of Veteran leaders!
