Richmond, VA – Today, Winsome Sears won the Republican Party of Virginia’s lieutenant governor nomination. She will carry the Republican Party banner across the Commonwealth as the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor on the November 2nd ballot. Sears joins Gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin and Attorney General nominee Jason Miyares on the Republican ticket.

Democrats are not only doubling down on defund the police, they are escalating their rhetoric. Just last year, Democrats blocked a police reform proposal led by Senator Tim Scott, and now Democrats are taking their radical anti-police calls to a new level. These are just from this past week: Rep. Maxine Waters: “We’ve got to get more confrontational, we’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business.” Rep.

Rattled by an exceptionally strong field of Republican candidates, they rolled out their timeworn talking points in a weak effort to distract voter attention from the failures of the Northam-McAuliffe administration over the last seven years. Now that they have one party rule in Richmond, Virginia Democrats realize that they can no longer shift blame to the last Presidential administration for their catastrophic failures under Terry McAuliffe, Ralph Northam, and their Democrat enablers in the General
