When he was attending Catholic University of America, Ed Gillespie worked three jobs, one in a campus dining hall, one as a short-order cook and one parking cars at the U.S. Senate.
Through the job as a parking lot attendant, Gillespie learned of an internship opportunity that led to a job on Capitol Hill, and he has not stopped working in politics and public affairs since.
Gillespie, communications ace, former lobbyist and senior aide to President George W. Bush, will find out Tuesday if Virginia voters will send a Reagan conservative to the Virginia governor’s mansion in the era of Donald Trump.
Should Gillespie succeed, he would become the first Republican elected statewide in Virginia since Bob McDonnell led his party’s sweep of statewide offices in 2009. He would likely have a GOP-controlled legislature to pass a broad agenda of bills he could sign into law.
“Job creation, getting Virginia growing again, is central to my campaign,” Gillespie said in an interview Thursday. “I truly think we should be first in the country. ... I’ve been talking about this from day one.”
The race between Gillespie and Democratic Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam is considered close. Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump by 5.3 percentage points in Virginia in November, but with lower turnout expected in this year’s governor’s race, Gillespie has given hope to Republicans.
This is Gillespie’s second run for statewide office in Virginia, after narrowly losing to U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., in a low turnout 2014 election.

Come to think of it, you never did answer OldMissileer’s question. Therefore, until you do, we are free to assume the answer is “Yes”.
He’s a Reagan conservative? He comes across more like a GOP Inc hack.
“Gillespie supported that amnesty as he has supported every other amnesty that has been proposed.”
Not sure a governor has much say in passing any of that. Glad he isn’t running for senate.
He did that already and lost because of his amnesty stance.
Ha well in that case the answer is NOPE.
Is that your only explanation for a Gillespie supporter? And the answer’s no. Don’t have the time to work on campaigns anyway. :)
yep the .8% that didn’t show got us Warner.
The only thing in the middle of the road is a yellow stripe.
It’s about time politicians started representing the citizens instead of pandering to foreigners who broke in.
That he is, that he is. This is just more lying disinformation from Cheap Labor Express Gillespie's campaign headquarters in a desperate effort to try to sway wavering Republican voters.
HA, I see that!
You sign up here just to campaign for him? Well good luck with that.

Are you voting for Cliff?
Cliff Notes? He helped me a lot in high school!
Cliff Hyra. the guy you posted about above? I could never afford the Cliff Notes in high school.
I never share about whom I’m going to vote. My desire is to share information about the candidates.
Thank you for your response.
I’m cool with that. Ed has been a career pollution pretty much all his life. If he gets elected, I hope that changes.
“Now it’s a full court press on MS-13 and Sanctuary Cities. Good luck EG, send Northam off with a defeat.”
Agree. EG has become more boldly conservative as the campaign has developed.
