Gilmore’s rise mapped from student politics to Virginia leader
Jim Gilmore, 51, from Richmond, Virginia, built a career as a lawyer and businessman and served as Virginia attorney general. He portrays his ascent as rooted in party work since youth while President Bush’s abortion stance and cabinet picks are cited in a party strategy to attract black voters. McAuliffe cites Bush positions and contrasts Gilmore’s path with Republican outreach efforts to diversify leadership, urging new black community leaders.
