Thanks to our partners at Veterans for Political Innovation, we recently had a chance to speak with two poll workers from Wisconsin. Mark is a veteran of both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy, and Brian served in the U.S. Air Force. They volunteered as poll workers during the 2023 midterm elections. Here are some highlights from our conversation.

Let’s talk about what is on the ballot in Wisconsin this Spring, and why it’s so important - and why you should sign up to serve as a poll worker in the primaries! We also highlight our partner, Veterans for Political Innovation, and the work they’re doing in WI and across the US.

We leveraged the civic pride of a community that is respected by the American people for their service and sacrifice. We believe that those who have served and their families are trusted champions of democracy, who can preserve and carry forward faith in the electoral process.

The Vet the Vote Coalition announced today it has recruited over 36,000 poll workers for the 2022 midterm elections - with a massive overnight signup of 34,379 military veterans and family members who volunteered to work the polls this November.

After leaving the Air Force in 2014, Kristen Berg decided to continue her service—this time as a poll worker. As a poll worker, Kristen was essential to the election process.

What are they, why the matter to the veteran and military family community, and how you can get involved.
