BREAKING: 
Terry for Virginia Launches First Digital Ad of General Election
Democratic Nominee for Governor Releases First Digital Ad of General Election, Touts Record of Job Creation and Delivering Results, Lays Out Clear Contrast with Trump Loyalist Glenn Youngkin
MCLEAN, VA – Terry for Virginia announced today it has launched its first digital ad of the general election. “Running for You” outlines Terry’s record of delivering results for Virginians as governor, including creating 200,000 good paying jobs. The 60-second spot also draws a stark contrast with Glenn Youngkin, who has gone out of his way to embrace Donald Trump and the most extreme elements of his party.

As Virginia’s 72nd Governor, Terry worked with Democrats and reasonable Republicans and delivered real results for Virginians across the Commonwealth – including creating good paying jobs and investing in infrastructure and education.

On the other hand, Glenn Youngkin has already gone all in with the extreme wing of his party. He has repeatedly tied himself to Donald Trump, saying he is “honored” to have his endorsement, and has even bragged that Trump “represents so much of why” he’s running.
