"Every Conservative state and local official I talk to has a story about the energy project in their district — how it got built, what it delivers, and what it means for the people they serve. This series puts those stories in front of the audiences that need to hear them."

Public service, military service, and the projects that power America.

Across red and purple states, a generation of Conservative state and local officials who once wore the uniform are now delivering the energy infrastructure their constituents depend on — from natural gas plants to solar farms, from grid upgrades to pipeline investments.

Their stories rarely get told. The national media focuses on Washington. The industry press focuses on developers. But the real work of American energy dominance happens at the county commission, the state legislature, and the school board — led by veterans who understand mission execution and constituent service alike.

Each episode profiles one official: their time in uniform, their path into public service, and the energy project in their district they worked to make real. Your brand sits alongside every interview, reaching their base directly.

All-of-the-Above Energy Dominance

Messaging rooted in American energy leadership across every fuel source — the frame that wins across the Conservative coalition.

Energy Security Is National Security

Veterans delivering critical infrastructure. The policy frame that resonates with conservative voters, hawkish donors, and America-first audiences.

Direct Line to Decision-Makers

State legislators, county commissioners, mayors. The officials who approve permits, site projects, and shape local policy — in conversation with your brand attached.

The audiences your policy dollars need to reach

This isn't a beltway policy podcast. Each episode reaches the official's own base directly — the voters, activists, and local leaders who vote on energy permits, fund campaigns, and shape the Conservative energy agenda from the ground up. Messages of jobs, energy dominance, and national security land where they resonate most.

State & Local Elected Officials

Legislators, county commissioners, mayors, and state party leaders. The officials who approve permits, shape state energy policy, and build the Conservative bench.

Conservative Activists & Donors

County party leaders, state committeemen, and conservative donors. People who fund campaigns and drive primary turnout in energy-producing districts.

Conservative Media & Thought Leaders

Right-of-center podcast listeners, talk radio hosts, and policy-outlet readers. The influencers who amplify Conservative energy messaging nationally.

Veteran Voters & Advocates

The 18-million-strong veteran voting bloc and the organizations serving them. A demographic that consistently turns out, leans right, and cares deeply about national security.

The officials this series is built for

Booking is underway for the 2026 season. Guests will be drawn from Conservative state legislators, county commissioners, and mayors across energy-producing and energy-transitioning states — all veterans, all with a tangible energy project story to tell. Project Vanguard's advisory board and community leader network give us direct lines to these officials.

State Legislators
Statehouse · Energy & Commerce Committees

Veterans serving in state houses and senates — the officials writing permitting reform, setting renewable portfolio standards, and negotiating tax structures for energy projects.

County Commissioners
Local Government · Permits & Siting

Veterans at the county level making the actual siting decisions on wind farms, solar installations, natural gas plants, and transmission upgrades — where projects live or die.

Mayors & City Councils
Municipal Leadership · Infrastructure

Veterans leading cities and towns through grid modernization, resilience investments, and economic development tied to energy infrastructure.

State Party Leaders
Conservative State Committees

Veterans shaping Conservative energy policy at the state party level — the bridge between grassroots activists and elected officials.

Former Federal Officials
Congressional & Agency Alumni

Veterans who served in Congress, at DOE, at DOD, or in other federal roles and returned home — now shaping energy policy from state and local office.

Rising Candidates
Veterans Running for Office

Veteran candidates in competitive races with energy in their platform — the next generation of Conservative energy leadership, captured on the campaign trail.

Project Vanguard Advisory Board

Our booking pipeline is anchored by John Szoka (CEO, Conservative Energy Network; former North Carolina State Representative, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel) and PV's national network of 30+ Community Leader Fellows across 20+ states. Each episode is a relationship-driven booking, not a cold outreach.

Reaching Conservative state and local officials and their bases through traditional policy campaigns costs hundreds of thousands annually. One season of Service After the Uniform puts your message in front of that audience with veteran-credentialed messengers who already have their trust.
