With Honor – Electing Next Generation Veterans to Congress

Marine veteran and With Honor co-founder Rye Barcott is taking action to change today’s near-historic low of 19 percent veteran representation on Capitol Hill, a decline from 70 percent post WWII. With Honor is a new cross-partisan organization (super-PAC and an affiliated 501(c)(4) entity) focused on increasing the number of next-generation veterans in Congress. Research shows that veterans have been more cross-partisan than non-veterans in Congress over the course of U.S. history, and With Honor is focused on helping the most capable 25 to 35 next-generation veterans running for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018, across party lines.
