ACWORTH, Ga. – June 8, 2025 – From Veterans for America First:
Veterans for America First (VFAF), originally established in 2015 as Veterans for Trump, continues to strengthen its position as the nation’s leading grassroots political movement supporting veterans. At the 2025 Georgia GOP State Convention, VFAF-endorsed candidates swept all four races in which the organization participated—securing a perfect record at the event.
VFAF’s national influence is well recognized. Its endorsement has been highlighted by President Donald J. Trump on Truth Social and featured in campaign ads by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. Numerous congressional candidates have successfully used the endorsement to gain an edge in competitive primaries. Ballotpedia now maintains a dedicated page for VFAF, acknowledging it as one of the most impactful political endorsements in the country.
At the Georgia State Convention, the VFAF endorsement played a crucial role. Chairman Josh McKoon received VFAF’s national backing before later securing President Trump’s endorsement. In a crowded field, Seanie Zappendorf’s public embrace of the VFAF endorsement during her speech was seen as a key factor in her victory over a Georgia Republican Assembly-backed opponent. Other endorsed candidates, Salleigh Grubbs and James Dvorak, also secured wins.
These victories build on earlier success in Georgia, where VFAF-backed candidates won 4 out of 5 district races and 9 out of 11 county contests. With 17 wins out of 20 races statewide, VFAF currently holds an impressive 85% win rate in Georgia’s 2025 GOP election cycle.
