After launching last month on Independence Day (July 4th) and generating strong national media coverage, IVA’s 50-state outreach plan is finding, recruiting, engaging and training independent veterans to lead at the local, state and federal level, support independent reform, and inspire their communities to come together and put country over party.

IVA will consider endorsing independent veteran candidates at all levels — from local school boards to the US Senate. IVA is not supporting or affiliated with any candidate for President.

For the independent veteran leaders that earn our endorsement, IVA will support them in a variety of ways to include:

• Galvanizing a community of independent veterans and allies nationwide to add support nationally and locally
  
• Support for their candidacy through media and technology training
  
• Leadership and media opportunities to elevate their campaign 
  
• An invitation to speak to IVA’s First Annual Candidate Convention on 9/11 in NYC
  
• Providing free innovative online campaign-in-a-box resources designed specifically for IVA candidates–powered by cutting-edge AI
  
• Delivering voter files and other vital intel that is costly to get on their own
  
• Funding to win
  

2024 is the year of the independent voter and especially, the independent veteran. Today, IVA is proud to announce that our 2024 endorsement process is now open and we invite independent candidates at any level to apply for IVA endorsement by August 31. We look forward to meeting dynamic, driven and patriotic independent candidates from all across America that illustrate the powers and diversity of our movement. Next month, we will highlight them, unite them and engage our community to help them win. Together, we will elevate a new generation of leaders, disrupt the status quo and inspire America. Independents are the future of American politics. And next month, we’ll introduce the men and women that are leading that charge.
