Veterans Endorse Adam Gray and Jessica Morse for Congress

WASHINGTON D.C. – Common Defense, the largest veteran-led grassroots organization nationwide, is proud to announce its endorsement of Adam Gray (CA-13) and Jessica Morse (CA-03) to represent the great state of California in Congress. Both candidates have demonstrated unwavering dedication to protecting democracy and supporting policies that benefit working families, veterans, and underserved communities.

Adam Gray’s track record of advocating for affordable healthcare, environmental protection, and economic opportunities for all makes him an ideal leader for California’s 13th congressional district. Jessica Morse, with her background in national security and commitment to veterans, climate resilience, and economic justice, embodies the values of service and equity that Common Defense champions.

“At Common Defense, we seek leaders who defend democracy and work for justice. Adam Gray and Jessica Morse have shown they will fight for the needs of veterans and everyday Americans, and not play partisan politics,” - Oscar Arbulú, Common Defense’s Deputy Political Director, Marine Corps veteran, and California native.

Common Defense Civic Engagement is a grassroots, veteran-led organization that was founded in 2016. We empower veterans to stand up for our communities against the rising tide of racism, hate, and violence, to organize against the entrenched powers that have rigged our economy, and to champion an equitable and representative democracy, where “liberty and justice” truly is for all. For too long, politicians from both political parties have attempted to use veterans as unwilling political props, and Common Defense serves as a home for veterans to organize and speak for themselves and support the candidates who truly share our values.
