Anyone remember the “Unity†press conference that Republicans had in Loudoun back in June?
Sheriff Chapman’s right hand man, Brian Reynolds, set up that press conference with much fanfare and much pressure on all the elected Republicans to support his call for party unity.The press conference was called to support the Chapman campaign over his recently declared opponent, Independent and former Sheriff, Steve Simpson.
It was important to Brian Reynolds and the Chapman campaign that the public see the support of the party for Sheriff Chapman, and nominally for Republican candidate for Chairman of the Board, Charlie King. Following the press conference was Mike Chapman’s unity themed fundraiser where there wasn’t much ‘unity’ since only the Sheriff benefitted from funds raised.
How things have changed in six weeks. That whole unity thing has gone by the boards. Brian Reynolds, who continues to be the Sheriff’s guy, is also working for Independent Scott York who is running for Chairman of the Board of Supervisors against our Republican nominee, Charlie King.
It seems party unity is only important when it benefits Sheriff Chapman.
Scott York, a man who can’t make up his mind if he’s a Republican or an Independent is a man lacking both a moral compass and a strong set of values. Nothing is more illustrative than his hiring of two men with criminal, felonious, backgrounds to run his campaign, Brian Reynolds as his campaign manager and Shaun Williams as his treasurer. Birds of a feather. (My Mama taught me we are judged by the company we keep.)
Brian was all about Republican party unity when it was of benefit to Sheriff Chapman but quickly abandoned that idea when Scott York offered him money. Â Deep convictions there. Â But he’s not alone, many of the sheriff’s supporters are also supporters of Scott York. That whole Republican unity schtick is long gone for Sheriff Chapman’s workers and supporters as is evident in numerous parades where the Sheriff’s supporters sport Chapman t-shirts adorned with York stickers.
Our election this year isn’t all about 2015, it’s really about 2016. Our Republican candidate for President cannot win without Virginia and he or she cannot win Virginia without Loudoun. We will once again be ground zero in the Presidential election.
Scott York cannot lead Republicans to a victory in 2016 because he isn’t a Republican, and won’t be next year. Scott York has been in office longer than Franklin Roosevelt, sometimes as a Republican, more often not.  Under the Republican Party Plan Scott York has been removed from the party and banned from participating in any Republican events.  How can he lead Republicans to Presidential and Congressional victories in 2016?  He can’t. period.  We need a Republican leader who can.
Scott York has proven himself to be unreliable, indecisive and untrustworthy. Next year he’s as likely to support a Democrat as a Republican or an Independent. Â In the past he has endorsed candidates of each party.
Republican candidate for Chairman, attorney Charlie King, understands that we need a decisive, Republican, leader next year in Loudoun if Republicans are to carry Loudoun and Virginia. King said:
“One reason I decided to run was my belief is the inconsistency in Loudoun Republican politics has been caused, in part, by the lack of a “hand on the rudder.†In other words, there has been no Republican Chairman of the Board who understood the importance of their role as titular head of the party and responsibility to raise money and build up the party.”
Long time Republican and grassroots activist, Leesburg attorney, Charlie King, has ideas that will help us win next year:
“It’s imperative we hire a part-time executive director to get us ready for 2016.
We will be political ground zero in 2016. Its imperative we have help with the “blocking and tackling†as Delegate Minchew says.
Raising money to hire an executive director will be my top priority for the party.â€
Excellent idea! Â On to Victory this year and next with Charlie King at the helm!

Can Randy Minchew defend his RINO voting record with the conservation Democrat voters?
His law firm entered into a “secretive confidential joint litigation agreement” with the PEC and then he tried to deny it. The public has had access to this PEC agreement with Minchew’s law firm for almost a year that was the subject of several very public hearings and plastered all over media.
I am sick of the RINOS and we should not forget.
Convicted felons seem to be finding their way as well into campaigns on the western side of PWC. One is a church elder, political mentor, who runs a blog and the Gainesville District Supervisor’s office.
This is the first I would guess most if not all are hearing that Brian is a convicted felon. Second, if this is so, that is his damn business and not the business of some two bit blog lady.
Really, I am going to assume it’s a lie based on the creepy source.
Really? Some folks care about things like that. It is not a lie. Ask around. I have the records.
Well I don’t care for non-elected public citizens being torn down by some creepy blog lady. Keep it to yourself.
Brian will be like many others. Just can’t stomach backing a backer of Delgaudio. King is to much the puppet of the idiot.
King is an attorney. You would be surprised who he has represented, some of your closest buddies.
It’s obvious who you are and you’re a well democrat who loves to agitate on blogs.
It’s nice that Brian and Chapman have a true blue democrat supporter like you. I’m sure they appreciate your support very much.
Jeanine, republicans are not having trouble.uniting but they just can’t rally or unite behind Charlie King. Like it or not he’s the. disuniting agent to know fault of his own. He’s just not ready to run the entire county never having served in any capacity. Take Charlie out of the equation and I bet everyone gets along. Isn’t it obvious? I’ve spoken to some of the people in that unity photo and some perhaps most are not supporting him behind the scenes. One thing I will agree with you on….BrianReynolds is a crook. Public records show this guy has had numerous civil suits brought against him for warrant in debt. Not sure he is a felon though.
Brian Reynolds is a convicted felon. Why the heck would Sheriff Chapman want to hang around with this cretin? From VCDL to the LCRC, Reynolds has embarrassed every group he has joined.
He first worked for Shawn Williams, a bully prone to excessive drinking who threaten to throw his girlfriend off an Ocean City high rise condo and now works for York. It figures.
Stay away from this thug and his “Design B Studios”
Even before the unity meeting York’s hand picked puppet Williams couldn’t tell the truth so we see he learned well from the master, York. Where is the wet noddle Ralph Buona, I figured he would honor his pledge but noooooo. So lets see we have a liar, a woman beater, a pledge breaker, goodness this could be the next presidential cabinet as they are qualified.
