DGA Statement on Winsome Earle-Sears’ Bizarre Filing for Virginia’s GOP Gov Primary

Today, Winsome Earle-Sears filed her petitions to be on the Republican primary ballot for Governor of Virginia in bizarre fashion, initially trying to hide the actual number of signatures she collected.

As new reporting from the Washington Post outlines how Virginia’s Republican candidates for governor are running to embrace Donald Trump – including Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears’ campaign claiming she is “more conservative than Trump” to survive a nasty primary between Dave LaRock and Amanda Chase – DGA National Press Secretary Devon Cruz released the following statement:

“Winsome Earle-Sears’ brazen attempt to hide her struggles with petition collection is yet another illustration of how her campaign is weak and struggling in the face of a nasty and extreme GOP primary with Dave LaRock and Amanda Chase. Things will only get worse for Sears as she continues to run to the far-right, fully embracing Donald Trump’s harmful agenda that is devastating Virginia’s jobs and local economy. No matter how this shakes out, the one thing that is clear is that the Virginia GOP will be left with a nominee who is out of touch on the biggest issues facing families in Virginia.”
