Virginia's 'balance of power' could shift in a big way, says Winsome Sears
Virginia Lt. Gov. sounds off on college protests: 'We're not having it'
Winsome Sears: It’s time to move on from Trump
From their website
Reduce the Cost of Living
As governor, Winsome wants to make sure Virginia is a place where all families can afford to live, raise their families, work, and build a future. She will fight for common-sense tax cuts that help all Virginians like eliminating the unfair car tax. She will scour the government books to cut wasteful government spending and job-killing regulations because taxpayers know how to spend their money and run their businesses better than government.
Tough on Crime
Winsome’s position is simple: Protect innocent Virginians, prosecute criminals. As governor, she will end radical policies like catch-and-release and ensure violent criminal illegal immigrants are arrested, detained, and sent back to where they came from. She opposes sanctuary cities and will work alongside the Trump administration to remove those who break our laws and threaten public safety. Winsome deeply respects first rescuers and those who serve in the line of duty. Keeping Virginia safe starts with creating a culture that honors and respects the brave men and women of law enforcement and making sure they have the resources to do their jobs. A safe Virginia is a prosperous Virginia, and we cannot afford a governor who is willing to let criminals run amok.
Give Every Child a Quality Education
No child should be stuck in an underperforming school because of their zip code or their parent’s income level. As governor, Winsome will empower parents to choose the best school for their children so every child gets a quality education. She will prioritize parents’ rights and basic reading and math skills over ideological grandstanding. With Winsome in charge, Virginia’s education system will once again be the envy of the country.
Protect Right to Work
Winsome is a staunch supporter of Virginia’s right-to-work policy because it is essential to Virginia’s economic success. Right to work also protects workers from heavy-handed union bosses, forced dues, and fewer job opportunities. As governor, Winsome will protect Virginia’s business- and worker-friendly environment that has contributed to our increased job growth, higher wages, and lower unemployment rates. Winsome will never allow Virginia to become Maryland.
Protect Women
Women are empowered to reach their highest potential when they have access to a fair and level playing field—free from political agendas—but Democrats like Abigail Spanberger are trying to undermine 60 years of hard-fought and hard-earned women’s rights. Allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports is not only anti-women, it is dangerous. Winsome will do whatever it takes to protect women and girls.
