The Serve America Movement (SAM) is a big tent political organization founded in 2017 by Morgan Stanley lawyer Eric Grossman.[4]

The party has said that they want to pass the elections vote limit or use petitions to gain access in other states, in order to contest future elections.[5]

In May 2020, SAM named David Jolly as executive chairman.[6] Jolly is a former Republican[7] who served as a Member of Congress from Florida's 13th congressional district from 2014 to 2017.
