  • Ken Reid has been active for years to rebuild the Republican Party in Virginia
    Two Party Governance in Virginia is critical
    Virginia's Republican Party is losing races badly -- we have been spanked by our opponents in every November election since 2012, except 2015. Yes, a surge of outside money and redistricting of key districts, plus President Trump's undeserved unpopularity, led to losses of the General Assembly and several county and city races in 2019. However, the over arching reason for these losses are demographic shifts in Virginia's population, which have been ongoing for more than a decade -- even before President Trump's arrival on the scene in 2016. We have allowed the Democrats and media to define us instead of Republicans touting our successes and the need for conservative governance in Virginia. Virginians are sadly voting in politicians who are adopting policies and laws that doomed Blue states like NY, NJ, Maryland and California. It's our challenge as Republicans to keep Virginia a pro-jobs ,low tax, laissez faire state. Conservativism is the counter weight to statism and tyranny. We must Keep Virginia VIrginia -- not let it become New Jersey or New York. But we cannot do that UNLESS Republicans can be competitive in elections. We must not change our principles -- but work on messaging, strategy and making the GOP more inclusive.

    Bob McDonnell, former VA Gov. and Attorney General, Virginia Beach resident
    ★★★★★
    "Ken Reid has won election to public office in a very Blue area of Virginia like Norfolk by reaching out to voters we need to grow our base, but has not sacrificed his conservative principles. He has great ideas to grow our base of support
    ★★★★★
    Mike "Zig" Ziengenfuss, active Norfolk Republican, chairman of Norfolk Electoral Board
    "I've had the pleasure of meeting Ken Reid at a Norfolk City Council meeting where we pressed to make Norfolk as 2A Sanctuary City. To I was impressed that he and members of his synagogue came out in full force to support 2nd amendment rights. We need to grow the conservative base and Orthodox Jews like Ken can help do that and make us more competitive in electing conservatives to ofifce and keep Virginia from becoming a Blue state like California, New York or New Jersey. He will help prevent that by being on the 3d District Committee of RPV"

    As a lifelong resident of Norfolk, VA., I am excited that Ken is part of our team and has earnestly put forth all his efforts in helping us in the Republican Party.

  • " Ken Reid is a committed Republican, successful former elected official, and political activist who has a finger on the pulse in Virginia right now - he was the top vote-getter in an area that went from red to purple to blue in less than a decade. In addition, he has written a must-have campaign and elections book (The 6 Secrets to Winning Any Local Election). Ken will add an essential perspective on how the GOP can win in Virginia again.""
