Meet Stan Reid

Most people meet Stanley L. "Stan" Reid as he goes from door-to-door in Springfield's many neighborhoods, explaining why he should be elected to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

"I'm doing the campaign the way I want the office to be, which is accessible and approachable," said Reid as to why he has been campaigning door-to-door since December. To prove this point, he even includes his personal cell phone number on the flyer he leaves at the house of every registered voter in Springfield.

Stan has a combination of devotion and genuine concern for the area that he has called home for many years. "I love Fairfax County, and I love living here, but I think I can make Fairfax County even better than it already is," says Reid.

Constant interaction with the public is something that Reid says will remain vital to him as Springfield supervisor. In fact, he hopes his position will be based upon it. "I want people to see how decisions are actually made, so it [the government] is not just some entity in the corner that people run around in," said Reid.

Reid's supporters are quick to ensure that Reid will remain a man of his word. "He's an honest trustworthy guy," said Brad Butler, a Reid volunteer. "He's a straight shooter who says what he stands for and means what he says."

Perhaps Reid's biggest supporter is his wife of 13 years, Monica, a nurse at Fair Oaks Hospital who Reid said is his "hero and inspiration." Reid also remains close with his family in California, many of whom flew to Virginia to assist him in the days leading up to the 2003 primary.

Stan is Owner and Principal of Strategic Sciences LLC which has provided business development and government contracting expertise to domestic and foreign businesses for over a decade. Previously, he was Vice President of BNFL Inc, one of the U.S. government's most successful federal prime contractors. He served as a Ronald Reagan Presidential Administration Political Appointee with Security Clearances, and as a Washington Representative for Rockwell International Corporation. He also served as Legislative Director to Congressman Barry M. Goldwater Jr. He and his wife Monica reside in Fairfax, Virginia.
