Howard R. Lind (born October 3, 1957) is a retired U.S. Navy commander, former Special Assistant in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, former 10th Congressional District Republican chairman, was a 2014 candidate for the U.S. Senate in Virginia, and a 2014 candidate for the Republican nomination in Virginia's 10th Congressional District.
Howard R. Lind was a previous candidate to be a U.S. Senate in West Virginia.
It is definitely incorrect as he was a former U.S. candidate for Virginia, not West Virginia. I think it was confusing to the agent because he was for Virginia, but the 'West' threw the system off.
