Reid's grassroots volunteer team brought in more than the required 10,000 signatures of registered Virginia voters in order to qualify for the ballot for state-wide office. Said Reid, "I'm grateful for my state-wide volunteer team and for the chance to help save Virginia from the violence and terrible ideas that radical Democrats keep pushing."

He has lived, worked and/or traveled in 113 countries and makes his home in his native Henrico County with his partner, Alonzo.
Reid is endorsed for Lt. Governor by former Virginia Governors George Allen and Jim Gilmore.
