2008: The Start of Jared’s Political Mission.
Jared’s passion for politics started early. In 2008, he volunteered on his first political campaign, handing out Mike Huckabee for President stickers to anyone who would take one. What began as just a small act of enthusiasm quickly grew into a career built on strategy, leadership, and public engagement. In 2018, Jared founded a Republican club at his high school and transformed it into a force on the ground. Under his leadership, students became campaign volunteers who knocked on doors, made calls, and fought hard for Ed Gillespie’s Virginia gubernatorial campaign.
More than a decade later, while serving on a highly competitive Senate runoff campaign in 2019, Jared met Grant. They connected through a shared commitment to America First principles and an unrelenting drive for success. Their teamwork on that campaign sparked a professional friendship that eventually became Patterson and Reid LLC, a firm founded on experience from the ground up and a belief in helping candidates turn vision into victory.
2017: Educating the Next Generation.
Grant’s passion for politics began in 2017 when he founded a Students for Trump club at his high school with the goal of educating young first-time voters ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. He wanted to give his classmates a place to discuss current issues and understand how elections impact their lives. After graduation, Grant chose to delay college and join Senator Rick Scott’s 2018 campaign to unseat incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson. This experience inspired Grant to continue working in the political arena and shaped his personal motto and the mindset Patterson and Reid carries to this day, “There's no room for second place.”
