Number of vets in Congress could rise for first time in three decades, study finds
{mosads}Lynn said that a Democratic sweep of “lean Republican”
districts could drive the predicted number of veterans lower, a scenario that
pundits are not anticipating on Tuesday.
Lynn said that the increase in military representation in Congress is significant because the
number of veterans has been ticking downward after every election
since 1980.
Lynn’s Center for Second Service is a new program that provides
veterans with training and education to help them run for office and work in civilian
public-service jobs.
