Alumni of those programs include <a href=\"http:\/\/caucus.militarytimes.com\/speaker\/scott-taylor\/\" title=\"\" class=\"selected-link\" target=\"_blank\" data-original-title=\"\" aria-describedby=\"popover25164\" style=\"\">former Navy SEAL Rep. Scott Taylor, R-Va.<\/a>, and Democratic California State Senator Josh Newman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The degree program will be open to both veterans and non-veterans, but will include a host of military-themed aspects including guest speakers with military backgrounds, networking with veterans in the public policy field, and instructors with knowledge of specific challenges and advantages veterans face when running for office.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/military-honor\/salute-veterans\/2016\/11\/17\/advocates-want-more-veterans-on-congress-policy-staff\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/capitol-stock-photo-leo-shane.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Advocates want more veterans on Congress&#8217; policy staff<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Officials from HillVets say the lack of military experience among those influential posts hurts public debate on defense and veterans issues. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVeterans learn what it takes to be a leader in the military, and they often enter civilian life with a drive to continue leading others,\u201d said Seth Lynn, administrative director of the new curriculum program and founder of Veterans Campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGoing from being a leader at home or overseas to being a public leader takes a new kind of training. (This program) gives veterans, service members and others who want to keep serving the tools and skills needed to take the next steps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move comes at a time of increasing concern about the lack of veteran voices in national elected office. In the 1970s, more than 75 percent of congressional lawmakers has military experience. Today, less than 20 percent of the elected members in Congress are veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organizers hope the non-partisan program will help ease entry into the public policy field for that group. Officials called military members \u201ca valuable, yet largely untapped, source of civic and political leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Courses will focus on the election process, community organizing and civic management roles, as well as \u201ca variety of professional settings outside politics\u201d for public service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the faculty for the program will be Patrick Murphy, former acting secretary of the Army and the first Iraq War veteran elected to Congress, in 2006. Courses will be offered online, with periodic in-person seminars on the East and West Coasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information on the program is available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.veteranscampaign.org\/usfca-home\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">the Veterans Campaign web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The number of veterans serving in elected office has declined rapidly over the last forty years.
