    Glenn Youngkin, a political outsider, but skilled business leader (former managing director of the Carylyle Group, showed Republicans how to win back Virginia. We must build on Glenn's success with suburban voters and Latinos, and expand our party base. Virginia Republicans have lost six statewide elections since 2012 for failing to recognize the demographic shifts, particularly in Northern Virginia, which I represented and won four elections -- including in 2016 when Donald Trump was swamped by Hillary Clinton in Loudoun County.

    "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.

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.""
