Ken Mitchell is the Democratic Nominee for CD-6
We need to get out the vote!! When we vote, we win!!
Ken Mitchell served in the US Army for 24 years spending the last six years of his military career at the White House, providing support to Bush 41 and the Clinton Administrations.
After retirement, he spent six years in corporate telecommunications building infrastructure throughout the greater Washington metropolitan area. He provided both operational and executive leadership in building broadband infrastructure in New York City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta, Dallas Fort-Worth, Phoenix and Seattle among others
In 2004 he relocated to Charlottesville to start a new business doing historic remodeling. He still holds a current contractors license. This work led him to join a nonprofit, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, where he served as Vice President leading the modernization of Monticello’s infrastructure and the protection of a World Heritage site. From here he was recruited by an engineering firm to become their Vice President, providing executive leadership to a variety of projects focusing on building and retrofitting water and wastewater projects in numerous locations throughout the CD-6.
Ken now resides on his farm in Rockingham County but acknowledges that the chaos and need to defend democracy and protect our rights has motivated him to run for office. Ken indicates that he is “In it to Win it”!
