Whittington Whiteside "Whitt" Clement (born November 15, 1947) is an American politician who served seven terms in the Virginia House of Delegates and also became the Virginia Secretary of Transportation under Governor Mark Warner.[1] In 2001, he attempted to win the Democratic nomination for Attorney General of Virginia but placed third in the primary behind Donald McEachin and John Edwards. McEachin would go on to lose the general election to Republican Jerry Kilgore in the same year.[2][3][4][5] In 2003, the Virginia Bar Association honored him with its Distinguished Service Award.[5]
