In Virginia, the governor is limited to one four-year term, and they cannot serve consecutive terms. Spanberger formerly served in the U.S. House of Representatives for Virginia’s 7th District, and Earle-Searrs is currently serving as Virginia’s lieutenant governor. Virginians deserve a governor who will prepare the Commonwealth for the many challenges ahead, not a governor who dismisses the devastating impacts of this new law. I believe Virginia’s Governor should always put the Commonwealth first and be unafraid to stand up to the chaos coming from Washington instead of cheering it on, like my opponent continues to do. As the next Governor of Virginia, I will never be afraid to stand up for Virginians’ jobs and protect Virginia’s economy — and I will always put Virginia first.
