IVA CANDIDATE
ENDORSEMENT APPLICATION

After launching on Independence Day (July 4th) 2024 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 endorse 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
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

We are now accepting 2026 candidates for endorsement. We look forward to meeting dynamic, driven and patriotic independent candidates from all across America that illustrate the powers and diversity of our movement.
