Rand Beers Statement

To Whom It May Concern:

I can gladly confirm that Dan Grant worked as an Afghanistan policy advisor for the John Kerry for President campaign from 2003 to 2004.

Dan contacted me in the summer of 2003 while still in Kabul, and offered to lend his analysis of events there to the John Kerry campaign. He contacted me a number of times, providing incisive analysis of events and thoughtful recommendations for next steps. In 2004 Dan returned to the United States, specifically to support our campaign’s efforts. He continued to provide analysis of the Bush administration’s policies in Afghanistan, and how best to move forward from our then-current efforts. He worked in this capacity for the foreign policy team of the Kerry campaign until its conclusion in November of 2004.

I am happy that Dan’s desire to serve his country has continued with his laudable work in Iraq, and now with his race for Congress. There are few people in Congress with Dan’s experience and presence; this country would only benefit from his dedication and service.
