Scott Taylor Seeks to Take Back Virginia Eastern Shore Congressional Seat

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Former Republican Congressman Scott Taylor says he will run for the U.S. House seat he lost in 2018.

Taylor told WAVY-TV on Monday that he'll run against Democratic congresswoman Elaine Luria this fall for the 2nd District on Virginia's coast.

Taylor had previously said that he would run for a U.S. Senate seat. Taylor served one term before being defeated by Luria.

His re-election campaign was plagued by an election-fraud scandal.

Taylor said one of his reasons for running again is his opposition to Luria's decision to vote for impeachment of President Donald Trump.
