The nation’s leading military news outlet tells the story of an IVA-endorsed veteran’s Five Pillar campaign.
Military.com published a full profile of Mike Klein’s independent campaign in Florida’s 3rd Congressional District, tracing his path from West Point — where he was commissioned as an infantry officer in 1989, months before the Berlin Wall fell — through a career of service in and out of uniform, to this campaign.
The profile details Klein’s Five Pillar platform: defending democracy, strength through peace, economic resilience, community renewal, and veterans’ issues at the center of it all. It also captures his most important argument — that friends of his in both parties privately want to do the right thing but can’t, because party leadership won’t allow it. As an independent, Klein answers to no one but the people of his district. And as he told Military.com plainly, he’s not running to make a point. He’s running to win.
When the country’s premier military news outlet covers an IVA-endorsed candidate this seriously, it tells you where this movement is headed. Veterans trust veterans. And voters are learning to trust independent ones.
