Chairman Lamont Bagby: “What we want to do is protect workers. We want to protect families. We want to protect our public education systems [...].” 

VIRGINIA – With less than 100 days until Election Day, Virginia Democrats are focused on delivering for Virginians by protecting Virginia jobs, Virginians’ healthcare, and public education. Meanwhile, Winsome Earle-Sears has cheered on Donald Trump’s attacks on Virginia jobs and public education, and his tax bill that will take healthcare away from 322,000 Virginians. 

“While Virginia Democrats are focused on delivering for the Commonwealth, from now until November, Virginians will continue to see that Winsome Earle-Sears refuses to stand up for the Commonwealth against attacks on Virginians’ jobs, healthcare, and fundamental freedoms,” said DPVA Spokesperson Maggie Amjad.
