1986 election
Scott unsuccessfully ran for United States House of Representatives in 1986 from Virginia's 1st congressional district, having been defeated by Republican then-incumbent Herb Bateman by 7.5% of the votes cast.[2]
1992 election
Following the 1990 census that shifted the boundaries of Virginia's congressional districts, Scott ran in the very liberal newly drawn third district.[Citation Needed] He easily won the general election in a landslide,[3] and has been re-elected in large margins since.
Tenure
Amidst the MeToo movement, Scott has been accused in December 2017 of sexual misconduct by a staffer,[4] though he denied the allegation.[5]
It was reported in February 2019 that Rep. Scott had knew of sexual assault allegations made against Justin Fairfax for over a year.[6]
Despite previously refusing to back the impeachment coup against Donald Trump,[7] Scott ultimately supported[8] and voted in favor of the sham articles.[9]
Political views
A leftist, Scott is pro-abortion, anti-Second Amendment, and a proponent of the homosexual agenda.[10]
