Veterans for All Voters

State Leaders

State Leaders are on-the-ground advocates for election innovations in their home states. The situation on the ground is different in each state. For example, some innovations happen in the state legislatures while other changes can happen at the ballot box.

New Mexico Testimonials

"Being part of institutional change that would improve the political system in New Mexico and the US by making primaries more accessible and relevant to so many voters who are disillusioned by the disfunction of our current system. I'd like to see the voice and power of our democracy returned to voters rather than the rich stakeholders who are allowed to disproportionately influence politicians and political outcomes now. I think using the influence of veterans to affect change is a winning strategy, one I am happy to take on."

U.S. Navy Veteran

"Volunteering for Veterans for all Voters excites and motivates me because it offers the chance to give back to those who have sacrificed so much for our country. As a former Marine Drill Instructor, I’ve seen firsthand the dedication and resilience of service members, and I understand the unique challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian life. The opportunity to help improve their lives, whether through support, advocacy, or direct assistance, aligns deeply with my commitment to service and community. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of something that makes a tangible difference in the lives of those who have served."
