Common Defense

We are proud to endorse Rep. Kelly Morrison (MN-03), Rep. Betty McCollum (MN-04), and Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) for re-election to Congress.

These three have proven what it looks like to treat governance as a public trust: Morrison's work on healthcare access, McCollum's senior leadership on appropriations, and Omar's relentless advocacy for working people.

"Veterans in the North Star State deserve lawmakers who honor their commitments through tangible legislation," said Jose Vasquez, U.S. Army veteran and Executive Director of Common Defense.

Common Defense represents more than 500,000 Veterans, military family members, and civilian allies. Full statement link in comments.

This campaign has never been about one person. It's about thousands of people across Missouri's 2nd District who believe we deserve better. Since day one, we've raised more than $1M from more individual donors than every other candidate running in combined, Democrat and Republican.

We aren’t powered by corporate PACs or special interests. We’re powered by union members, teachers, veterans, nurses, parents, retirees, and neighbors who believe it's time for new leadership. Thank you to every person who's helped us get this far. But we're not done yet.

Our end-of-quarter deadline is tonight, and every contribution helps us keep this momentum going. If you've been waiting for the right time to join this campaign, this is it. Chip in before midnight and help us finish the quarter stronger than ever. 🔗 Link to donate in comments 👇
