Tulsi Gabbard Instagram – “I don’t think you should believe that running for office is just for somebody else. I’ve been encouraged by an increasing number of veterans who are running for Congress this year. It’s fantastic. Veterans are running for their State House and their State Senate. It’s awesome. I’m not saying just because you’re a veteran, you’re going to be a great leader, but veterans bring a sense of selflessness to the table. They have lived what it means to put country first. That’s important.
Here in Hawaii, I was really disheartened to see that of all registered voters only 33% actually took the time to vote in our last primary. That’s an abysmally low number. I would have thought that in this post-COVID environment where a lot of decisions were being made by leaders, it would fire people up and activate them a little more. But I’m pretty sure this was lower than it was in previous years. The takeaway message is that there are things happening in this country that concern you and that concern those you care about, whether they be your family, your friends, or your fellow service members. You better start paying attention. Get involved.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran)
