Vets4Vet Leadership Advocates For More Veteran Leadership in Congress

The Vets4Vet Leadership organization advocates for more veteran leadership in Congress to support a stronger, safer, more respectful America.

Founded by the executive director, James L. McCormick II, Vets4Vet Leadership is a group of US veterans committed to strengthening the veteran voice in the Halls of Congress and supporting policies and actions that advance the principles of American security, strength, and respect. 

James L. McCormick II actively served as a soldier in the US military for over 22 years and has advocated for veteran leadership in Congress for the past 12 years. 

Bringing the veteran voice to Congress

“The number of veterans in Congress has dropped dramatically, from 77% of the Members of Congress having served in the armed forces in the late 1970’s, to just 17% today.

Veteran representation on Capitol Hill is now at its lowest point in US history. At the same time, America is facing some of its toughest challenges, both domestic and global, while Congress has become more polarized and gridlocked than ever before,” comments James L. McCormick II, executive director of Vets4Vet Leadership.

“America is at a crossroads; I believe this is reflected by how things are currently unraveling across our country. I believe the lack of elected officials who have previously served in our nation’s military is at the heart of this social and economic meltdown.”

“Now more than ever, we need men and women of great integrity in office. Men and women who have sworn an oath to support and defend our Constitution. Men and women willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and who have proved themselves worthy leaders in battle” adds Mr. McCormick II.

“Veterans know action; they embody the spirit of ‘American Grit’ that is so characteristic of our nation. They remind us that liberty and democracy are the bedrock of our prosperity. So, when it comes to public policy and issue advocacy, who better to help us course-correct and pave the way to a safer, stronger, more respectful America.”

“As national heroes who have distinguished themselves in active duty and demonstrated the core values of courage, honor, and devotion, veterans are perfectly placed to lead by example and inspire all Americans to uphold these same values in their daily lives.”

“America needs more veterans in Congress. If you are a veteran, we invite you to stand up once again and step into service. Join us in the fight to preserve this great country and support those leaders willing to uphold our sacred American values and dedicate resources to ensuring a safer, stronger, more respectful nation.”

“You are the ideal candidates to unite your fellow Americans. Help us reform our national security and defense systems, rebuild public trust in officeholders, protect our treasured Constitution, and ensure everyone enjoys the opportunity to achieve the American dream,” concludes Mr. McCormick II.
