VIRGINIA – With less than one week until Election Day, the final edition of Winsome, Lose Some highlights one last “win” for Winsome and her most striking losses throughout the campaign.

SETTLING THIS WEEK’S SCORE 

Winsome’s Wins:

• Tubeman on the Trail: As Sears has continued on the campaign trail, the “Sears  DOGE” tubeman and Virginians have been calling her out at stop after stop for backing Trump’s job and healthcare cuts. Lucky for Sears, her events could use the extra energy and attention. 

Winsome’s Losses:

• DOGE, DOGE, DOGE: Throughout her campaign, Sears has been backing, downplaying, and dismissing Donald Trump’s attacks on Virginia jobs that have been devastating for the Commonwealth. Her key losses:

  • Getting caught on tape dismissing and laughing off the attacks on Virginia jobs saying “the media is making it out to be a huge, huge thing… and I don’t understand why.
  • During a CNN interview saying she wants “to talk about real issues” instead of Virginians losing their jobs. 
  • Telling John Fredericks “I’m supporting what the President is doing” and Virginians facing layoffs “don’t fret.” 

• “So Many Great Things”: Sears has spent her campaign cheering on Trump’s tax law saying it “does so many great things” while it will strip 350,000 Virginians of healthcare.
• Attacking Reproductive Rights: Sears has an extensive record attacking reproductive rights and a dangerous agenda to ban abortion in Virginia. A reminder on where Sears stands:

  • She supports an extreme abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest and vowed to “do everything in [her] power” to end abortion in Virginia.
  • She left a handwritten note that she is “morally opposed” to protecting reproductive freedom.
  • Sears has said verbatim that abortion was “murder,” “genocide,” and “wicked.” 

• Redefining Discrimination: Sears is “morally opposed” to same-sex marriage and supports Virginians being fired for being gay – although she doesn’t think that’s discrimination. If elected, Sears would roll back the fundamental rights of Virginians.

  •  In an unearthed candidate survey, Sears pledged to support letting Virginians get fired for being gay and block same-sex couples from adopting children, while also calling homosexuality an “immoral lifestyle choice.”
  • Sears left a handwritten note on a bill protecting marriage equality that she is “morally opposed” to the legislation.
     

• Defunding Public Education: Sears has a long record of supporting legislation that would cut funding from Virginia’s public schools and has repeatedly tried to defund public education. 

As Sears backs Trump’s job and healthcare cuts, and tries to hide her extreme record from Virginians, she’s proved that Virginians can’t trust her. With Sears, it’s Virginians who stand to lose the most.
