Former Senate candidate Ed Gillespie formally kicks off his campaign in January but he has already assembled his team which includes a full-time policy team and three regional field directors.

Over the next several weeks, together we will continue to lay the groundwork for a substantive campaign that offers a positive vision for our Commonwealth’s future, a real plan to get us growing again and engages a broad and diverse coalition of Virginians.”
