WASHINGTON — A total of 172 veterans won primaries this year and will appear on midterm ballots across the country. Their military service spans from the 1950s to today, and includes time spent in the active-duty ranks, reserves and the Coast Guard.

Will the number of veterans in Congress rise next year?
Experts say more veterans are running credible campaigns for congressional seats this year than ever before.
