Veterans for America First (VFAF) Names J. Shayne Snavely as National Ambassador
Richmond, VA — Veterans for America First (VFAF) today announced the appointment of J. Shayne Snavely as Ambassador for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Snavely will also serve as Vice President on the forthcoming re-launch of the official Virginia State Chapter.
A U.S. Army veteran of the 101st Airborne Division, Snavely has served the nation and his community as a military and government contractor, a professional in executive protection, a businessman, and a political consultant/operative. He also contributed to the training mission at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (Special Forces School), supporting America’s premier special operations forces.
Snavely has held senior roles in Virginia politics, including serving as a Senior Advisor and Senior Legislative Aide for two state senators from January 2021 through December 2023. In 2022, he worked directly with Senator Bryce Reeves to help secure passage of Virginia’s military benefits income tax subtraction bill—a landmark measure establishing phased tax relief for military retirement benefits and surviving spouses.
Snavely was present at the Governor’s bill signing ceremony in Quantico, VA, marking a historic step in supporting veterans and their families.
In addition to his legislative service, Snavely served as team lead in the 2021 Virginia Governor’s race, bringing his leadership and experience to one of the Commonwealth’s most pivotal campaigns. His work across military, business, and political arenas reflects a lifetime commitment to service and advocacy for veterans.
