This week we welcome Ellen Gustafson and Ben Keiser of Vet the Vote. Vet the Vote is a national campaign to recruit veterans and military family members to become the next generation of poll workers. According to Vet the Vote, in the past 3 years alone we have lost over 130,000 poll workers. This has created a crisis for state voting organizations, with 66% of election officials reporting an issue with poll worker recruiting. There are 17 million+ veterans and millions more military family members committed to serving our country. This group is ready to serve again. Ellen and Ben outline why veterans are the perfect candidates to ensure orderly and secure elections. We discuss how Vet the Vote is working with their growing coalition of marquee VSO/MSO coalition partners and through a multimedia awareness and recruitment campaign. We also outline how their organization is working with Power the Polls to make it seamless for veterans and military families to sign up to staff their local polling location and receive all of the information they need to serve. So if you have been looking for your next chapter of service, sit back and enjoy this week's interview.

This week's highlighted veteran owned business is DownRange Supplements. DownRange Supplements was founded by two combat veterans with one mission in mind; they wanted to develop a line of fitness and active lifestyle supplements that was quality enough to meet the standards of our country's top operators, and were also available to anyone trying to live a fit and active lifestyle. They took it a step further by adding DownRange Excursions, a Non-Profit organization dedicated to providing outdoor activities, gym memberships and nutritional education to our nations veterans and service members.
