Common Defense, a progressive grassroots organization of military veterans, takes a rigorous and values-driven approach to the endorsement of political candidates. Our endorsement process involves a thorough examination of candidates' positions on key issues such as democracy, climate justice, racial justice, and foreign policy. Rather than solely focusing on military service credentials, Common Defense emphasizes candidates who align with the organization's core values and advocate for a progressive policy framework centered on justice for everyday working individuals. Our endorsement process considers candidates' commitment to social justice, economic equality, and healthcare accessibility. By carefully evaluating candidates based on these criteria, we ensure that our endorsements reflect a steadfast dedication to the principles that matter most to our diverse and extensive veteran community.
