Two veteran lawmakers, Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark., and Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., co-chairs of the For Country Caucus, demonstrate the power of bipartisanship in Congress.

That ethos also guides a group in the U.S. House that calls itself the For Country Caucus. Its members are veterans with wide military experience who have banded together across party and ideological lines. At a time when bipartisan working relationships in Congress seem rare, with little hope for change in the coming session, the caucus shows there are still spaces where people with different views come together.
Other guests have spoken about national service, such as the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps and Voices for National Service. Two members of the outgoing group are retiring, while the 28 others were reelected. The caucus expects to pick up at least five new members in the next Congress, meaning nearly 8% of the House will be part of the caucus.
A Navy veteran himself, Crawford said that while his organization centers on Republican prospects, he refers Democrats to his counterpart at a group called With Honor Action, because that nonpartisan organization promotes veterans from both parties for elective office.
