Henrico, Va. — Today, the new Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor John Reid issued the following statement following the withdrawal of Supervisor Pat Herrity from the race:

“I am sure all Virginians join me in praying for Supervisor Pat Herrity and his continued recovery. Pat has been a gentleman during this campaign and he has devoted many years of his life to serving the people of Fairfax and of Virginia. We all owe a debt of gratitude to responsible men and women who step forward into the arena, sacrificing their time and often personal lives to offer leadership.

“With Pat’s selfless decision today, our party now has an early opportunity to unify behind a historic, solidly conservative, reasonable, and responsible GOP ticket led by Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears and Attorney General Jason Miyares that will continue to build on Governor Youngkin’s success.

“As I hope my travels across the state and work ethic have demonstrated, I take my new responsibility as the Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor seriously. I will continue to work hard to be worthy of this opportunity and to earn every vote of Republicans, Democrats, and all those looking for a voice across Virginia.”
