Garrison Coward is a proud Virginian and a former Republican candidate for the 2019 Virginia House of Delegates, a race which he lost narrowly.  He is currently a Managing Director working in the investment banking space.

In our conversation we talked about whether running a political campaign is actually like House of Cards, how to deal with political division,  why local politics are undervalued and underemphasized, and Garrison's plans for the future. To quote an article he wrote, "I’m not a black Republican — I’m a commonsense conservative who happens to be black. No political party owns me."
