Earle-Sears locked in tight race with Democratic rivals in Virginia governor's race

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5077807-winsome-ears-democratic-challengers/

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R ) is locked in a tight race with her potential Democratic rivals in the state’s upcoming governor’s race, according to a new poll released on Friday.

According to the polling from Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy, Earle-Sears trails Democratic gubernatorial candidate and former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) 47 percent to 44 percent. Nine percent said they were undecided.

The same poll showed a slightly more narrow margin between Earle-Sears and Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), who is said to be considering a run. Earle-Sears led Scott 46 percent to 44 percent with 10 percent saying they were undecided.

Earle-Sears jumped into the race in September with the support of Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R ) who is term limited. Spanberger announced she would run in November of 2023. Last month, Rep. Bobby Scott (R-Va.) told Punchbowl News he was not ruling out a bid.

I know a lot of us counted on this with Trump but wait until the public really gets to know Sears. She’s quite strange. Oh and wait until people get to know Abby and go WHOA! I’ve been in the room with her at two events and she’s is incredible. My wife was blown away with how impressive she is.
