Today, the War Veterans Fund PAC (www.warveteransfund.org) announced its candidate endorsements of six Republican Afghanistan/Iraq military veterans running for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2020. “The War Veterans Fund is committed to recruiting, supporting, and electing Republican veterans to Congress,” said Edward Crawford, the Coordinator of the PAC. “It is time for a new generation of leaders who have been tested in service to our country to lead the Republican Party.” All four branches of the U.S. military are represented by the endorsed field and the candidates are respectively running in Texas (2), California (2), Washington State, and New Hampshire.
Matt Robbins, the Deputy Coordinator of the PAC, said “We look forward to seeing these candidates serve in the U.S. Congress alongside Representatives Dan Crenshaw (TX-2) and Mike Waltz (FL-6) who we strongly supported in 2018. These candidates will join the approximately eighteen other Iraq/Afghanistan military veterans who are serving in the Republican Caucus.”
