John,

It’s official: Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears is the Republican nominee for Governor of Virginia and Abigail’s official opponent in the November 2025 race.

We’ll explain more below, but first, will you contribute to Abigail’s campaign for Governor right now?

The stakes couldn’t be higher this November. Sears has spent her entire political career pushing extreme right-wing policies and backing Donald Trump at every turn. She’s repeatedly voiced her support for anti-choice measures to restrict women’s reproductive rights — including a near-total abortion ban — and just this week spoke at an anti-abortion rally in Richmond.

She’s not looking out for the people of Virginia. While Virginia's federal workers are facing instability and chaos from the Trump-Musk administration and DOGE’s cuts, Abigail’s opponent is standing behind Trump 100% and “doesn’t understand why” it’s a big deal that Virginians are being fired from their jobs. She literally told Virginians “don’t fret.”

Sears is just another rubber stamp for the MAGA agenda, and frankly, Virginians deserve better. Abigail will always put the people of Virginia first – she’ll work to lower costs, protect our fundamental rights, stand up for Virginia jobs, strengthen our public schools, and so much more.

But this race is set to be the most competitive in the country this November — Cook Political Report is calling it a total TOSS UP. Right now, Abigail Spanberger and Winsome Sears are neck and neck — and with Trump’s MAGA machine ready to flood Virginia with dark money, we can’t afford to fall behind.

We need your help. Will you contribute today to help us flip the Governor’s office blue and elect Abigail Spanberger?

Thank you,

Spanberger for Governor HQ
