VIRGINIA – Today, on the first day of early voting, Winsome Earle-Sears is showing Virginians exactly where she stands as she campaigns with the DOGE Architect responsible for firing thousands of Virginians. With only 45 days until the polls close, Virginians know she’ll always put Trump and her extreme agenda before the good of the Commonwealth. 

SETTLING THIS WEEK’S SCORE 

Winsome’s Wins:

•  Endorsement Alert : In new audio leaked by Patriot Takes, Winsome Earle-Sears brags about the endorsement from Vivek Ramaswamy, a key architect of DOGE who is responsible for firing thousands of Virginians. Sears also touts an upcoming campaign event with Ramaswamy. The endorsement and event are the latest in Sears’ long record of backing job cuts and downplaying and dismissing the devastating reality of losing a job. 
• Sears Truck Drives Around Town: Today as Winsome Earle-Sears campaigns alongside Vivek Ramaswamy, an out-of-state billionaire and a key architect of DOGE who is responsible for firing thousands of Virginians, a mobile billboard truck highlighting Sears backing the DOGE cuts and putting Donald Trump’s reckless policies before the Commonwealth will be circling Sears’ campaign event and the Virginia Capitol Complex. The billboard truck reads “Winsome Earle-Sears puts DOGE and Trump before Virginia” and “Winsome Earle-Sears  DOGE” and plays audio of Sears downplaying the job cuts. 

Winsome’s Losses:

• Under Pressure: Winsome Earle-Sears continues to face more pressure for inviting DOGE architect Vivek Ramaswamy who is responsible for firing thousands of Virginians to campaign with her on Friday. As Virginians call on her to cancel the event, Sears refuses. 
• Fired Federal Workers Have Real Issues with Sears Backing Job Cuts: During the “Real Issues” tour stop in Arlington, Tiffany Pryce Russom, a former staffer at the Administration for Children and Families at the Department of Health and Human Services, shared her reaction to the rally with the Virginia Independent: “Her campaigning with the architect of DOGE just — it makes clear that you’re not serious about the impacts that are to come, that have already been realized for Virginia’s economy, right? And if you’re not serious about Virginia’s economy, then you probably should not be governor.”
• Liar, Liar (again):  During a healthcare forum on Monday, the Virginia Mercury reports that Sears “downplayed” cuts to health care and lied saying “the new law’s negative impacts on patients and hospitals were overstated and argued the state had sufficient reserves to weather any problems.” 

As Sears campaigns with the architect of DOGE, backs Trump’s job cuts and lies about healthcare cuts, this week is more proof that Virginians can’t trust Sears and with her, it’s Virginians who stand to lose the most.
