Scott Parkinson emerges as first contender seeking Republican nomination in hopes of challenging Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.)
Scott T. Parkinson, the vice president of government affairs at the Club for Growth, a major conservative economic policy advocacy group, is running for public office for the first time after years of serving as a congressional staffer for DeSantis, a former Florida congressman, and others on the Hill.
Kaine, who has served in the Senate since 2013, is expected to be the favorite heading into the race. He won reelection by 16 percentage points in 2018. But the headway Republicans have made in the state since then — taking the governor’s mansion and the House in 2021 — has energized the party to regain lost ground.
