No Political Activity on JBLM

While you’re here for the 2023 JBLM Airshow and Warrior Expo you’ll see the hardware and military members who provide this nation’s unmatched military might.

What you won’t see are campaign signs, the distribution of political literature, or anyone engaged in partisan political activity or campaigning.

Why? Because U.S. law and Department of Defense policy forbid partisan political activity on military installations. Violators will be told to stop or else leave JBLM.

This policy doesn’t prevent airshow attendees from wearing political t-shirts, buttons, hats, etc. – so long as they’re not actively campaigning.

Thank you.
