America 250 Kickoff: Meet Washington's Veteran Candidates

Patriots of Liberty invites you to an afternoon gathering to mark America's 250th — and to meet the veterans running for office in Washington in 2026.

From the mid-1960s into the 1970s, more than 70 percent of Congress had served in the military. Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford all wore the uniform before they led the country. Different parties, shared experience, shared sense of duty. Patriots of Liberty believes that combination is worth rebuilding — one veteran candidate at a time.

You're invited to meet:

- Matt Marshall — candidate for WA State Representative, 2nd District

- David Olson — candidate for WA State Representative, 26th District

- Jerrod Sessler — candidate for U.S. Congress, WA 4th Congressional District

- Justin Pike — candidate for WA State Representative, 42nd District

What to expect: Live music, food and drinks, family-friendly atmosphere, and the chance to ask the candidates anything you want — face to face, no script.

This is a community afternoon, not a rally. Open to everyone, regardless of party.
