Pramila Jayapal

We are proud to endorse Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) for reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives. Throughout her tenure in Congress, Representative Jayapal has translated her progressive values into concrete legislative advocacy for our nation’s military community. In particular, Jayapal has utilized her platform on the House Judiciary Committee to fiercely advocate against the deportation of immigrant service members and veterans, fighting to secure their pathways to citizenship and protect their access to earned VA benefits.

Naveed Shah, U.S. Army veteran and Political Director at Common Defense, released the following statement:

“Common Defense is proud to endorse Representative Pramila Jayapal because she recognizes that true support for our military community requires systemic advocacy, not empty rhetoric. From her steadfast defense of immigrant service members to her efforts ensuring that veterans are never locked out of the VA benefits they earned, Congresswoman Jayapal represents the accountability and moral courage our communities deserve. Washington veterans deserve a representative who will actively challenge the military-industrial complex and protect our fundamental democratic freedoms. Pramila has proven she will hold the line for our families, and our grassroots network is fully mobilized to keep her fighting for us in Congress.”
