John Reid believes we should prioritize first-class learning in education, free from leftist indoctrination. His focus is on ensuring that our educational system imparts knowledge and critical thinking skills, not political bias, preparing students for success in a diverse world instead of creating radical activists.
John Reid is dedicated to safeguarding and gaining knowledge from our heritage, rather than obliterating it. He appreciates the significance of our history and will always advocate for conserving our cultural landmarks and enlightening future generations about the foundation of our nation. We can learn from both the positive and negative aspects of our past, but unless we examine where we have come from, we will never be able to see where we need to go with the clarity we should have.

The left loves identity politics because it divides people on fear when they can’t unite voters on policies. John Reid is focused on stopping the divisive wokeness and bringing Virginians together on common values for a stronger future. John is uniquely positioned to take the fight to the radical progressives head-on as he continues his fight against boys in girls sports and the extreme trans-agenda being forced upon our children. It’s time to unite around common sense values instead of dividing over wokeness.

John stands with law enforcement.
Through good times and bad, wins and losses, John has been loyal to the Republican Party and her candidates. He was taught to be loyal or to leave and he has always stayed even when he has disagreed with controversial policy decisions and candidates. John’s unique story as a solid Reagan conservative and a gay man of faith coupled with his bold vision for a dynamic modern economy and free society that works for everyone will grow the Virginia GOP and increase its vote tally.
John Reid believes YOU know best how to live your life and will fight to allow adults to make their own decisions without government intervention. He also believes we all must pay our own bills and personally own and be responsible for the consequences- good and bad- of our decisions.
Your children are yours. They do not belong to the government and are not the responsibility of the state. John Reid wants the government to provide opportunities for your kids but not mandates and indoctrination. Parents must- in almost all cases- be the final decision makers in their children’s upbringing.
John Reid has spent years as a businessman and partner at one of Washington’s leading international PR firms. He routinely met with global leaders and business executives identifying ways to grow accounts, solve problems, and expand opportunities. He’s consulted with some of America’s top companies and will help keep Virginia viable for expansion and growth in a hyper competitive market. Virginians want job opportunities and John will build on the work of Governor Youngkin to bring business to the Commonwealth.
John Reid is always advocating for tax breaks and tax elimination for working Virginians and for businesses. He has consistently and boldly called out Democrats who refused even during the Covid collapse to suspend the most basic gas tax to help those who were losing income and still had to work. Taxes kill businesses and entrepreneurship and they burden families. John will fight to finally eliminate the hated car tax and to lower real estate taxes and burdensome business taxes. Government must do less with less.
John Reid is a gun owner and has his concealed carry permit. After 20 years as a target on television and radio media sadly John knows the need for personal protection against hostile people who threaten harm. Guns are not the problem in modern American society! Allowing lawless and violent people to continually reoffend against the innocent is the leftist mistake that has turned our cities into dangerous killing fields and is rapidly ruining our suburbs too.
John Reid will loudly fight against any efforts to disarm or burden law abiding citizens.John Reid is pro life and has boldly spoken out on TV, radio, and in his personal testimony against the Democrats new radical unlimited any time-any place, day of birth abortion proposals.

John Reid is a man of faith. He attended church schools and is thankful for the moral grounding his education gave him. Even in controversial and very personal debates over gay rights John has always defended the rights of churches and private individuals to follow their own consciences. Good and moral people may disagree and in a free society we must defend the right of the individual and the religious institution to follow their own beliefs.
From DEI to CRT to the radical trans movement, Democrats know no boundaries with their leftist social agendas. Thirty years ago when John Reid spoke out for gay service in the military and civil unions it was precisely to advocate for normalcy, public decorum, and honesty in society. His goal was to add normal hard working patriotic Americans to the fundamental building blocks of a stable society. Indeed Americans largely embraced those changes. But today radical leftists have hijacked the movement and are not asking for acceptance but instead are demanding submission. John is clear- It’s completely unacceptable for men to participate in women’s sports. Women and men deserve private separate spaces as free as possible from any obvious physical or sexual threat. And we must be blatant in saying that it is factually impossible for biological men or women to personally decide to change their gender. John believes in the right for grown adults to live their lives as they see fit but not if they impose restrictions and obligations on others and not if any of their behavior sexualizes or grooms children. Who better to make our conservative moral case than a man like John Reid?
