RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Former White House adviser and Republican U.S. Senate nominee Ed Gillespie has created a political action committee as part of his plan to run for Virginia governor in 2017.
The Washington Post reports that Gillespie's Let's Grow, Virginia! PAC has scheduled its first two fundraisers for Dec. 7 in northern Virginia and Dec. 10 in Richmond. Details, including locations and ticket prices, have not yet been determined.
The formation of the PAC comes a month after the Republican confirmed that he would seek his party's nomination for governor.
Gillespie is a former chairman of the Republican National Committee and counselor to President George W. Bush. He lost to U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) last year in a close race for the Senate seat.
