Scott William Taylor (born June 27, 1979) is an American politician and former Navy SEAL who served as the United States representative for Virginia's 2nd congressional district from 2017 to 2019. A Republican, he was previously a member of the Virginia House of Delegates for the 85th district. On November 6, 2018, Taylor was defeated for reelection by Democrat and U.S. Navy veteran Elaine Luria.[1] On July 8, 2019, he announced his intention to run for the United States Senate in 2020.[2] However, in December 2019, he instead opted to run again for his old seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.[3] In the November general election, he was defeated by Luria in a rematch.
