“Civics Not Politics” Veterans Leading in the Nonpartisan Election Space

When veterans show up to protect our elections, they're not picking a side, they're keeping a promise.In this episode, we sit down with two leaders who are channeling the credibility and commitment of the veteran and military family community into one of the most contested arenas in American public life: election administration. Alberto Ramos, CEO of Veterans for All Voters, and Chris Purdy, Founder and CEO of The Chamberlain Network, join host Ingrid Sundlee for a conversation about why veterans may be exactly who this moment calls for.Veterans swear an oath to the Constitution, not to a party, not to a candidate. That oath, both guests argue, is precisely what makes them uniquely positioned to serve as nonpartisan messengers in a polarized political landscape. From training veterans and military family members as poll workers and civic educators to advocating for election reforms that expand participation, their organizations are proving that defending free and fair elections is itself a form of continued service.We dig into the real work: how these organizations keep their veterans on message when political conversations heat up, how they engage not just veterans but military spouses, Gold Star families, and the broader military community, and how they're addressing one issue that rarely gets enough attention — the critical importance of mail-in voting for active duty service members and veterans living overseas.If you believe that protecting the integrity of our elections shouldn't be a partisan issue, this conversation is for you.#VettedConversations#NewPodcastEpisode#CivicsNotPolitics#VeteransForAllVoters#TheChamberlainNetworkSupport the showFor more, check us out at www.wetheveterans.us and at https://linktr.ee/vettedconversations
