VA-GOV: After Winsome Earle-Sears Secures VA GOP Nomination, Dems Release a Video Highlighting Her Extreme Record

So, unfortunately, it looks like there will NOT be a nasty, vicious Virginia Republican primary for governor through mid-June, as it appears that Winsome Earle-Sears will be the Republican nominee (given that both former Del. Dave LaRock and former State Senator Amanda Chase both failed to make the ballot). See below for a press release from the VA GOP (just ridiculous drivel if you actually read it – but maybe don’t, because…why even bother?), another from Earle-Sears’ campaign (which, of course, is full of lies, so don’t believe a word of it), and also one from the Democratic Party of Virginia – 100% factual about “Winsome Earle-Sears dismissing attacks on Virginia jobs and her dangerous record opposing reproductive rights.”

So, bottom line: we need to elect Abigail Spanberger this November, preferably by a HUGE margin (10+ points would be great) – to make sure that Democrats sweep all three statewide offices, to maximize the Democratic pickups in the House of Delegates, and to send a clear/resounding message nationwide about our rejection of Trump, Musk, DOGE, the assault on our democracy and civil liberties, etc. Let’s do this!

They expect her to win despite that/with that.

for Virginia Democrats! Just always keep in mind that you can't assume things will go your way. Work twice as hard for the next 6 months as if Abigail Spanberger was running against Trump himself!
