Press Releases

VoteVets continues efforts to elect veterans to Congress, take on corruption in Washington 

Washington, DC. – Today, VoteVets is launching a nearly $1 million ad campaign educating voters about Luke Bronin’s record of tackling corruption head-on. Prices for hard-working, central Connecticut families have skyrocketed under the Trump Administration, while Trump and his cronies make billions. Congress needs fresh leaders with integrity, and Luke Bronin has never backed down from a fight. The ad, which will run on cable and broadcast for the next 4 weeks in New Haven and Hartford, captures the energy Democrats need to take on Trump corruption and fix a broken system. 

“Trump corruption has taken over Washington, and Congress needs new leadership and new energy to right the ship. That’s Luke Bronin,” said VoteVets Senior Advisor Max Rose. “From weeding out corruption in the military to reforming Hartford’s finances, Luke has spent his entire career fighting for the underdog. He’s the right candidate at the right time for central Connecticut families.” 

This ad campaign is part of VoteVets’ historic efforts to get more Democratic Veterans elected to Congress and hold Republicans accountable for forever wars, inflation, and corruption.

AD TRANSCRIPT:

Narrator: A Navy veteran, Luke fought corruption in the military and he’ll take on the corruption in Washington. 

Making big corporations pay what they owe – and leading the fight to bring down costs for central Connecticut families. 

With Donald Trump making billions and Congress doing absolutely nothing…

We need new energy and new leadership. 

Luke Bronin. 


Background:

Last cycle alone, VoteVets spent $50 million helping to elect VoteVets-endorsed candidates. Our investments proved to be effective in helping candidates get across the finish line  and we were able to see a success rate at a time when other Democrats were not as successful. Thanks in part to our investments, 143 VoteVets-endorsed candidates clinched victory amidst a global rightward lurch. 

In a time when voters’ cynicism is difficult to break through, VoteVets’ ads combine the most persuasive message with the most trusted messengers. Nonpartisan research by Gallup confirms that Veterans continue to be trusted messengers for a wide swath of voters, and have special credibility with blue collar men and younger demographics that Democrats need to bring back into the fold. Simply put, with the right message and messengers, VoteVets moves voters that no one else in the Democratic ecosystem can.
