While @abigailspanberger.com has detailed her Affordable Virginia Plan, Winsome Earle-Sears “did not respond to several requests for an interview or to answer questions about housing policies” and has no public plan to lower housing costs…

Winsome Earle-Sears why won’t Trump endorse you and your MAGA campaign?

Sears backs Trump’s healthcare and job cuts despite their devastating impact on Virginians, and yet, when Trump made a stop in Norfolk yesterday, he didn’t mention her once…🤔

Virginia Democrats @vademocrats.bsky.social · 3d

HAPPENING NOW: Donald J. Trump is in Norfolk after threatening to begin a new wave of DOGE cuts — undoubtedly hurting the Commonwealth.

While Winsome Earle-Sears defends Trump, @abigailspanberger.com has demanded that he answer to Virginians on why he is actively hurting our economy.

Things are getting spooky on Winsome Earle-Sears’ bus tour. Sears’ campaign stops are such a ghost town, even she won’t show up!

Virginia Democrats @vademocrats.bsky.social · 5d

It couldn’t be any more clear — when given multiple opportunities to stand up for Virginia jobs, Winsome Earle-Sears refuses to go against Trump.

Virginians deserve a leader that will prioritize their best interests every single time. Winsome Earle-Sears will never be that leader.

In case you needed more proof that Winsome Earle-Sears is out-of-touch with the majority of Virginians — Sears is endorsed by the extreme anti-abortion group, Susan B. Anthony List.

A Winsome Earle-Sears Administration would be nothing short of frightening for Virginians.

At a Sears campaign stop in Goochland, Virginians called out Winsome Earle-Sears for backing Trump’s healthcare cuts that will rip healthcare away from 350,000 Virginians and force at least six rural hospitals to close…but Sears never showed.

Donald Trump has shut down the federal government and is threatening to use it to fire more Virginians as a result.

Unsurprisingly, Winsome Earle-Sears has done NOTHING to stand up and protect Virginia jobs.

Virginia Democrats @vademocrats.bsky.social · 8d

Even when asked directly, Winsome Earle-Sears refuses to stand up to Trump and protect Virginia jobs. With Winsome Earle-Sears, it will always be Trump over Virginians.

Since some Virginia Republicans don't understand the meaning of Winsome Earle-Sears' slogan "defend and deliver," we'll explain it for them.

Sears will defend Trump's dangerous policies that are harming Virginians, and deliver cuts to their healthcare and schools.

Another damning headline on Winsome Earle-Sears: “Earle-Sears skips many of the things candidates for governor normally do.” cardinalnews.org/2025/09/29/e...

Earle-Sears skips many of the things candidates for governor normally do

She hasn’t met with key business groups. She’s avoided most media interviews. And some days her social media account documents no events. What’s she doing?
