VIRGINIA – With less than a week until the debate, Winsome Earle-Sears is nowhere to be found, and neither is her campaign bus. This week as Sears refused to stand up to Donald Trump for threatening to fire Virginians and shutting the government down, it’s even more clear she’ll always put Trump ahead of the Commonwealth.

SETTLING THIS WEEK’S SCORE 

Winsome’s Wins:

• Sears All in on Trump’s Agenda: In an interview on NBC News Now, Winsome Earle-Sears didn't disagree with any of Donald Trump's reckless actions when asked directly. As Trump's actions have lost Virginia its “Top State for Business” ranking and will cause 350,000 to lose healthcare, Sears has praised Trump’s healthcare and job cuts that are hurting Virginians.  

Winsome’s Losses:

• The Curious Case of the Sears Bus Tour: Virginians have been calling out Winsome Earle-Sears for backing Donald Trump’s healthcare cuts at Sears’ bus tour stops. Virginians gathered at the campaign bus tour stop in Williamsburg, Goochland and Emporia – only Sears didn’t show up and in Emporia, neither did the bus.
• Healthcare Tops Voters Concerns: As Winsome Earle-Sears dismisses the devastating healthcare cuts she backed and three rural clinics in the Shenandoah Valley closing, elected leaders are highlighting how healthcare is a top issue for Virginians, but Winsome Earle-Sears “doesn't seem to care.”
• Shutting Down on the Shutdown: Instead of standing up for Virginia jobs as the government shuts down, Winsome Earle-Sears is backing Donald Trump’s plans that will raise healthcare costs for Virginians. During an interview with NBC News Now, Sears refused to call on Donald Trump to stop firing Virginians as he threatens even more mass firings if the Republican-led federal government shuts down.

As Sears refuses to stand up for Virginia jobs, and continues to hide from voters, this week is more proof that Virginians can’t trust Sears and with her, it’s Virginians who stand to lose the most.
