VoteVets Political Action Committee (PAC) helps elect veterans and national security experts to federal, state, and local offices, focusing on Democratic candidates. It aims to change the perception that conservatives and Republicans are the sole pro-military, pro-security party by supporting candidates through aggressive independent spending campaigns, fundraising, donations, and innovative texting programs to connect with veterans and military families for get-out-the-vote efforts. The PAC also educates about veterans and military issues to influence election outcomes.
