Winsome Earle-Sears is looking to make history in Virginia again.
Virginia’s Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears has officially launched her campaign for governor, NBC News reports.
Earle-Sears’ documents were accepted by the Virginia Department of Elections on Sept. 4 in order for her to earn the party’s nomination in 2025. The current GOP governor, Glenn Youngkin, can’t seek re-election. The Old Dominion state is the only one that limits governors to run for consecutive terms.
As the first Black woman to hold office in the state’s lengthy history, Earle-Sears is the first Republican to officially enter the race for the party’s nomination in 2025. Democratic U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger is the only person seeking her party’s nomination to run for governor.
