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.
Washington D.C. Testimonials
"As a leader in the grassroots democracy reform movement, I am pleased to support VAV here in Washington, DC, and nationally. As the daughter of a WWII veteran and the spouse of a veteran, with many other veterans in my immediate family, I know how important this democracy is to veterans. I learned the tenets of democracy in our home, from my father, and live out the lessons he taught me. I am envisioning what our democracy will look like in the future, while working in the nuts and bolts of electoral reform. There's not a minute to waste!"

"What excites and motivates me about volunteering for Veterans for All Voters is to continue to make a change for Veterans and all who want a better system."
Matthew Wee
U.S. Marine Corps Veteran
"I am deeply interested in working to advance structural democracy reforms that improve the policy process to ensure policy is reflective of public support. While I work on democracy in my full time role, I volunteer with UpVote VA and recently began exploring volunteering with the DC RCV ballot initiative. I think the work happening at Veterans For All Voters is exciting and looking to support the cause."
Marc Jaruzel
Army National Guard Veteran
"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."
