WOODSTOCK — Doing things differently to address basic needs of constituents is what Emily Scott, the Democratic candidate for the House of Delegates in the 15th District, is looking to accomplish if she is elected this November.
The district includes Shenandoah and Page counties and parts of Warren County. She’ll face incumbent House Minority Leader Todd Gilbert, R-Mount Jackson, who has held the seat for 15 years, in the Nov. 2 election.
“I just feel that there’s opportunities to do things in a different way than we’ve been doing them the past 15 years,” Scott said, questioning what has been brought to the district through its past state representation.

Why I am running.
For 15 years, the 15th District has had a delegate in Richmond who has neglected the basic needs affecting folks in Shenandoah, Warren, Page, and Rockingham Counties. Now is the time for the 15th District to have a Delegate who addresses our region’s challenges with care, smarts, and grit.
