Angela Jander is a grassroots engagement director with Concerned Veterans for America in Texas.

Angela has been a passionate supporter of veterans and the American values they defended since a young age. Both her father and stepfather served in the Army during the Vietnam War, and she witnessed firsthand the effects the war had on both of them, particularly PTSD.

Watching her dad struggle to get the care he needed from the Department of Veterans Affairs inspired her advocacy work to help fix the broken system, not only for veterans, but for the communities and country they fought to protect.

Angela can tell the story that too often goes unheard, the story of family members who struggle alongside and support the veterans they love. She uses her family’s experiences to advocate for better care, stronger communities, and policies that ensure veterans and all Americans have the freedom and opportunity to build a better future for all.

Angela joined CVA as a volunteer in 2022 and transitioned into a full-time role in 2024. She lives in Clyde, Texas.
