Virginia’s parents were active in the Republican Party in Tupelo. When Virginia and Amy were old enough, they begged to go with their parents to rallies and campaign events. Roger and Janine allowed them to go that wouldn't be too dull or too long for young girls to sit through and behave. By the time they were in high school, Virginia and Amy were active members of the Teenage Republicans.

After Virginia graduated from high school, she attended the University of Mississippi. While there, she met Spenser Brooks.
