The Steady State Endorses Rear Admiral
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 6, 2025
THE STEADY STATE ENDORSES REAR ADMIRAL EILEEN LAUBACHER FOR CONGRESS
The 300+ members of The Steady State are former national security officials who remain committed to their oaths to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” We continue to promote democracy, the rule of law, and national security based on the values shared by most Americans. Steady State members served our country in various capacities within the U.S. national security and homeland security communities—as intelligence officers, defense policymakers, diplomats, and congressional staffers. We have proudly served under both Democratic and Republican administrations. Some of us are lifelong Democrats, others Republicans, and some resolutely independent. But today, we speak with one voice.
We are honored to endorse Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher for Congress
We are proud to endorse Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher for election to the United States House of Representatives from Colorado’s 4th Congressional District.
As a nonpartisan organization of former national security professionals, The Steady State is guided by a singular mission: to defend constitutional democracy, uphold the rule of law, and protect the integrity of America’s national security institutions. In an era marked by democratic backsliding and the politicization of national security, Admiral Laubacher stands as a principled and stabilizing force. She is, without question, the most qualified and capable candidate to represent the people of Colorado’s 4th District in Congress.
Admiral Laubacher’s distinguished career in public service reflects her deep commitment to country over party. As a U.S. Navy officer and a senior policy advisor on the National Security Council, she consistently placed mission and Constitution above politics. She understands the gravity of decisions involving war and peace, the value of intelligence in shaping sound policy, and the necessity of accountability in safeguarding democratic institutions.
She brings to Congress not only decades of strategic experience but a reputation as a pragmatic leader focused on results, evidence, and the long-term interests of the nation. Admiral Laubacher’s national security credentials are unmatched, and her leadership style reflects the highest ideals of The Steady State: principled, nonpartisan service rooted in truth, expertise, and constitutional duty.
As a future member of Congress, Admiral Laubacher will play a critical role in overseeing the institutions that protect the American people—from defending against terrorism and cyber threats, to confronting disinformation, biological risks, and climate-driven instability. Her understanding of how national policy connects to local impact will serve Colorado well, particularly in safeguarding the well-being and prosperity of the diverse communities that make up the 4th District.
In a time when democracy is under pressure and the rule of law is too often treated as partisan terrain, Eileen Laubacher offers something increasingly rare: leadership grounded in service, integrity, and national purpose. She has lived the values that bind Americans together across uniforms, agencies, and the political aisle.
We urge the people of Colorado’s 4th District to support Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher for Congress. Not only is her leadership aligned with the ethos of The Steady State,it is precisely what this moment demands.
