Winsome Sears, Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, joined CPAC NOW’s “America Uncancelled” program Wednesday night. Drawing on her own background in the U.S. Marines, Sears addressed the Biden Administration’s utterly botched military withdrawal from Afghanistan. The candidate emphasized the need to  support the many veterans who live in our Commonwealth.

“Parents proved today that we can mount a massive grassroots effort to gather thousands of signatures to recall a school board member. We are pleased to have won in court, but unfortunately it appears the fix was in when Mr. Descano handpicked his replacement from Albemarle County, James Hingely,” said Dee O’Neal, Open FCPS Coalition founder.

The prevailing narrative of racial grievance has been corrupting the instruction of American history and the humanities for many decades, but has accelerated dangerously over the past year. The most damaging effects of such instruction fall on lower income minority children, who are implicitly told that they are helpless victims with no power or agency to shape their own futures.

Political outsider, successful business leader, and Republican nominee for governor Glenn Youngkin’s campaign today announced massive support from Virginia’s law enforcement community with endorsements from 50 Sheriffs. Earlier today, Youngkin released an ad exposing McAuliffe as too dangerous and too extreme to tackle Virginia’s rising violent crime problem.

Former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is thanking and praising our troops, while lamenting the Biden Administration’s utter bungling of the nation’s long-awaited military withdrawal from Afghanistan. “Our young men and women did amazing work there, and it was time to get our team home,” Pompeo tweeted Tuesday afternoon. “We could have done it in a way that would have reflected well on America and would have protected the interests we had.”

Critical to empowering voters and, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “a government of the people, by the people and for the people” is the elimination of the gerrymandered electoral districts in Virginia. To that end, in November 2020, Virginians approved a constitutional amendment that established a bipartisan commission (composed of eight legislators and eight citizens) to draw new congressional, state senate and delegate district maps.

Today, political outsider, successful business leader, and Republican nominee for governor Glenn Youngkin issued the following statement on the Virginia Department of Health’s statewide mask mandate for K-12 schools:

“With today’s student mask mandate announcement, Ralph Northam, Terry McAuliffe and Richmond liberals have made clear that they will stop at nothing to impose their will and take away parents’ ability to decide what’s best for our kids.

A new ad from Republican Glenn Youngkin is blasting Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s embrace of “defund the police” extremists. “What is Terry McAullife’s plan? Refusing to meet with police officers; touting endorsements from extreme left-wing groups that want to defund the police and abolish ICE,” the ad notes. “No wonder the murder rate went up 43 percent when McAuliffe was governor. He put violent criminals first and victims last.”

Today, Virginians for Safe Communities (VSC) joined with notable concerned citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia to ask the Virginia State Bar to launch an inquiry into serious and recurring instances of misconduct by the office of the Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney, Steve Descano.

On Thursday, political outsider, successful business leader, and Republican nominee for governor Glenn Youngkin delivered remarks outlining his plan for the Virginia budget surplus and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.

Glenn outlined his plan in Richmond at the L. Douglas Wilder Library at Virginia Union University.

Julie Perry, Virginia’s 86th District GOP nominee for House of Delegates, joined WMAL’s Larry O’Connor for a live interview Tuesday morning. Perry, a Fairfax County Public Schools educator, discussed the district’s regrettable embrace of critical race theory. 

According to Perry, rank-and-file educators are not driving the new, Marxist-inspired push in district schools. “Teachers are afraid to speak out,” the candidate said. “They are terrified of retaliation.”

Local government leaders are negotiating with union executives who have not been officially recognized by public employees they claim to represent.

Counties in Northern Virginia are taking steps to allow public sector collective bargaining. But they are doing it with the support of union executives – not a groundswell of voter or public employee support.
