Electing Democratic veterans and national security professionals to Congress.
Be the first to hear about the veterans and national security leaders we're supporting, and how you can help them win.
Every contribution goes directly to electing veterans and national security professionals who've already answered the call.
The share of Congress members who have served in uniform has fallen from over 70% in the 1970s to roughly 19% today. Democratic veterans and national security leaders are running in competitive districts where they can win, but too often without the resources and support they need to get across the finish line.
Duty Bound PAC identifies Democratic veterans and national security professionals in competitive federal races and makes sure they have what they need to compete: resources, strategy, and the backing of people who understand why this work matters.
Democrats with honorable military service, substantive careers in intelligence, the Foreign Service, DoD, NSC, or federal law enforcement; and those who have demonstrated sustained, serious leadership on national security and veterans' issues during their time in Congress.
Competitive U.S. House and Senate races across Congress, where a candidate's biography and record on national security creates a real path to victory.
Direct contributions, strategic counsel, and fundraising support; targeted to what each candidate actually needs to run a winning campaign.

Historic lows: Democratic veteran representation in Congress has collapsed since 2010, when Democrats and Republicans were roughly equal
Resources exist for Democratic veterans and national security candidates; these candidates remain chronically under-resourced relative to the opportunity they represent
"The Republican Party has spent decades claiming the military as its own. That claim is false. Democrats who've served are the ones who can prove it."
Duty Bound PAC was founded by a Marine Corps veteran whose career has spanned the battlefield, the Pentagon, the United States Senate, and the campaign trail. This isn't a general-purpose Democratic giving vehicle. It's a focused operation built by people who have operated at the intersection of military service, national security, and politics, and who understand exactly what it takes to win.
We know this candidate type. We know the donors. We know the districts. And we know how to win.

Every dollar is a targeted investment in a competitive race with a candidate who has already answered the call.
