RICHMOND, Va. -- Entrepreneur and former Fox News contributor Pete Snyder has joined the crowded field seeking the Republican nomination for Virginia governor.
The CEO of a capital investment firm, Snyder said in a campaign video released Tuesday morning that he was running as an innovator, disruptor and problem solver seeking to shake up state politics after “eight years of failed leadership” by Democrats in the governor’s mansion.
This crisis has brought out the best in many of us, but it also exposed the systemic incompetence of our leaders in Richmond.

Republicans have opted to pick their candidates in a convention in May.
