Meet John Reid
BUSINESSMAN | BROADCASTER | FIGHTER
"I am dedicated to promoting conservative values and ensuring that working Virginians of all backgrounds have a voice in shaping the future of our Commonwealth."
John Reid is a lifelong Virginian, a trusted voice in conservative media, and a bold leader with the experience and communication skills to deliver real results for the Commonwealth.
For the past eight years, John has been the award-winning host of the WRVA Morning Show — one of America’s longest-running conservative talk radio programs. Every day, Virginians across the state tuned in to hear John speak with clarity, common sense, and conviction about the issues that matter most.
John is the founder and chair of The Virginia Council, where he brings together parents, educators, and community leaders to defend Virginia’s cultural heritage, promote civic education, and stand up for the values that make our Commonwealth strong.
He began his career in public service as one of the final interns to President Ronald Reagan in Los Angeles. He went on to serve as Communications Director for U.S. Senator George Allen and later led national messaging efforts as Chief Communications Officer for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America — the largest new-generation veterans organization in the country.
Before returning to radio, John spent over a decade as a television news anchor and investigative reporter in Richmond, covering everything from crime and corruption to government accountability and consumer protection.
John lives in Richmond with his partner, Alonzo. He’s running for Lieutenant Governor to restore trust, defend our values, and lead with the common-sense principles that make Virginia the best place in America to live, work, and raise a family.
