Service, Honor, and Courage
Scott "K" Konopasek has spent his life in the service of the country, his community and his faith.
He served the nation for 14 years as an Army Intelligence Officer with overseas and combat tours and was awarded the Bronze Star.
For more than 30 years, Scott served as a local government public official and community volunteer for multiple causes, making a difference in the lives of many and for which he garnered national and local awards and honors.
In service to his faith, Scott dedicated two years to full-time, volunteer missionary service in foreign lands which foundationally influenced him to pursue a lifetime of service.
After this long career of service and in this time of manufactured political chaos, Scott again feels the need to serve--this time as the 59th District’s member of the Virginia House of Delegates.

The Issues we are fighting for
Living with service, honor, and courage means protecting individual rights and freedoms--the same freedoms that have been eroded by bought and paid-for politicians, a partisan judiciary, and self-serving leaders. He is committed to protecting:
- Honoring, respecting, and caring for veterans and other who have given and sacrificed in service of others the safety, security, and opportunity for all Americans
- The social safety nets for our seniors, the disabled, and those in need--due to health, natural disasters, the economy, lack of opportunity, or life's setbacks
- The safety, security, and opportunity for all Americans to pursue the American Dream regardless of gender, race, national origin, sexual orientation, economic status, and faith
- A woman’s right to control her own body and healthcare decisions
- The right to Due Process
- The environment and climate, locally and globally
- Local control and voices in decisions made affecting their community
- The paychecks and the diverse ways of life of all Virginians
