WELLE EARNS NATIONAL ENDORSEMENT – VOTEVETS

(Eatontown, NJ) VoteVets announced their endorsement today for Josh Welle, Democratic candidate for New Jersey’s 4th Congressional District.

“It’s an honor to receive the support of VoteVets, which does incredible work to advocate for veterans returning to public service. This midterm election is critical to bring the voices of veterans to the forefront when we face a lot of uncertainty on the global stage. The Navy taught me to put country over party and serve others first.”

VoteVets is a federal non-partisan political action committee, which primarily helps elect Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran candidates and educates voters about veterans and military issues. Notable endorsements include: US Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) and Governor Ralph Northam (D-VA).

“Josh is someone who excels when it comes to serving others – it’s what motivates him,” said Jon Soltz, Iraq War Veteran and Chair of VoteVets. “That’s the kind of mindset we need in Washington, right now – someone who puts service above self. Additionally, Josh has desperately needed national security experience, that we need in Congress, to ensure that America stays secure, in an increasingly dangerous world. We’re very proud to endorse him.”

A demographic report of the 115th Congress released by CQ-Roll Call shows that less than 1/5 of members have military experience or are actively serving. This reflects a near all time low of veterans serving in the halls of Capitol Hill in American history. Josh is committed to supporting a responsible foreign policy using all instruments of national power to protect U.S interests and those of its allies.

Josh Welle is a Democratic candidate for New Jersey’s 4th Congressional District. He served 12 years of active duty in the US Navy. He is the CEO and co-founder of a software company and currently resides in Rumson, NJ with his wife Angela.
