Time to send a message to D.C.

from On Democracy with FPWellman · host Fred Wellman

For a decade now the statewide elections in Virginia have served as a key bellwether on the recently elected President. The unique nature of Virginia’s system where a governor can only serve one consecutive term means there is never an incumbent making it essentially a toss up every cycle just one year after the national elections. Four years ago the election of Glenn Youngkin, after over a decade of Democratic dominance of the Commonwealth’s leadership, sent a shockwave around the country and a message to the Biden Administration. This cycle is already shaping up to be that, and more, as former Representative Abigail Spanberger faces current Lt. Governor, and MAGA extremist, Winsome Earle-Sears. From gay marriage to the firing of federal workers Sears shows over and over she is out of the mainstream. Her Democratic opponent is a long time public servant from the CIA to the halls of Congress. Abigail joins Fred to talk about the impact of the Trump Administration and Republican Congress on Virginia, Don’t miss this one!
