2026 Strategy: VoteVets is recruiting 100+ veteran candidates. They need a brand that unifies the message.
This Isn’t Theory. It’s Happening Now.
Alpha Democrat is the brand strategy behind the Democratic Party’s most successful recruitment effort: military veterans running for office.
- VoteVets PAC trains 100+ veteran candidates annually
- Veteran Democrats outperform non-veterans in swing districts
- Pennsylvania (7% veterans), Arizona (10%), Georgia (9%) — these populations decide elections
Why Veterans Win
The strategy works because veterans carry credibility that transcends partisan politics. “Country before party” resonates with independents, moderate Republicans, and skeptical voters who won’t trust traditional Democratic candidates.
