For the 2020 cycle, the National Republican Committee will embark on an aggressive military and veteran engagement program, recruiting more than 26,000 veteran volunteers to actively canvass other veteran voters in support of Republican candidates.In 2015 The results were phenomenal - coupled with a Presidential candidate who made veterans and national security primary issues of the campaign, we brought almost 4 million new veteran voters to the polls in 2016 compared to 2012. Further, Republicans won the veteran vote by 27 points, or almost 5 million votes, while losing the non-veteran vote by 5 points, making the argument that the veteran vote delivered the election for the Republican ticket.The veteran field teams will recruit, train, and be deployed in canvassing more than 1.3 million veteran voters, and contacting more than 1.9 million veteran voters through get-out-the-vote and absentee ballot reminder mailers.
