Randy Minchew, a native of Northern Virginia, has lived and worked in Loudoun County for more than 30 years. His leadership in, and service to, the Leesburg and Loudoun County communities include being a founding member and two-term chairman of the Loudoun County Economic Development Commission as well as a founding member and co-chair of the Rural Economic Development Task Force, where he had a hand in developing a detailed plan for strengthening the economic base of rural Loudoun County while preserving scenic areas and open space.

Randy served three terms in the House of Delegates representing Loudoun County and the Town of Leesburg. In that role he was committed to bipartisanship, civility, and consensus legislation while being instrumental in securing passage of laws that improved roads, fostered ethical government operations, strengthened local schools, deployed broadband to underserved areas, and expanded the use of renewable energy.

An Eagle Scout, Randy served as District Chairman of Scouting in Loudoun County and as a scoutmaster in Leesburg. He still acts as an official overseer for a five-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail south of Snicker’s Gap that he used to hike as a Tenderfoot.
