MVLA Presents: Veterans for All Voters with Special Guest Eric Bronner

Come for a Lunch-and-Learn in the Student Lounge with Eric Bronner to discuss election reform issues like Top Four and Final Five Voting. Veterans for All Voters seeks to make our political system less toxic, less partisan, more productive, and more responsive to the citizen-voter. Eric is a Naval Academy graduate, former Naval Flight Officer (NFO), graduate of Washington University Law School in St. Louis, and the COO of Veterans for All Voters.

Our Initiatives
We are focused on implementing specific election innovations across the country.

The Idea
Inspiring and educating one of America’s most-trusted institutions, veterans, to mobilize and advocate for election innovations that will help repair some of America’s least-trusted institutions (the political system and Congress).

The military veteran population is a cross-section of American society. Military veterans and supporters know how to leverage individual differences to accomplish a mission.

Statistics: America is Failing
Partisan polarization in Congress is at its highest levels in more than 100 years. *

- The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index ranked the United States’ democracy 25th in the world, labeling our Nation a flawed democracy. *

- The 116th Congress had a near record-low 15% approval rating, yet 95% of its members were re-elected in the last election. *

- Public trust reached a three-decade high shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but declined quickly thereafter. Since 2007, the share of the U.S. population saying they can trust the government "always or most of the time" has not surpassed 30%. *

How we win
Focused electoral innovations led by state-based coalitions can restore the health of our democracy. Military veterans have a desire to serve and lead their country. Working along side their supporters, Veterans can play a unique and strategic role in realizing these innovation
