• Meet Former Del. Dave LaRock, Who Is Challenging Winsome Earle-Sears for the 2025 VA GOP Gubernatorial Nomination From Her Faaaaar Right (“Stop the Steal,” “VA DOGE,” Ivermectin, hardcore Trump/MAGA supporter, etc.)
• Audio: Virginia LG Winsome Sears, Who Was a HUGE Trump Supporter, Now Says “He bailed on US”; “I think it’s YOU who’s sanctimonious”; “I didn’t join the Trump Party, I joined the REPUBLICAN Party!” (Sears: Trump “called [Elaine Chao]…Coco Chow Chow something. C’mon man, you know, you can’t do that!”)
• Video: After Blasting Winsome Sears as a “Never Trumper,” etc. for Two Years, Trump’s Former VA Campaign Chair Throws His Support Strongly Behind Her (Previously, Fredericks said Sears “tried to do a turnaround, nobody really believes her…not the strongest candidate that the Republicans could put up by any means.”)
• Video: VA Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears, Formerly a HUGE Trump Supporter, Now Says “Enough Is Enough”; Trump Spokesperson Warns “There Will Be a Reckoning”
• New Roanoke College Poll Finds Spanberger with 15-Point Lead Over Earle-Sears; Trump at 37%-58% Favorable; Youngkin at Just 48%-42% Favorable

P.S. A few more lines from LaRock’s interview with Fredericks include:

• “You mentioned money, so let’s go there…Dominion Energy has given over $52 million to…members of the legislature over the past 10 years; their down payment on Winsome Sears is $170,000…I sent their checks back to them and basically tried to expose what is a pay-to-play operation…Dave LaRock zero from Dominion Energy and Winsome Sears $170,000.”
• “Another difference is – and this goes I think to the core of why you, for most of your coverage of Winsome Sears have been opposed to her…we need a unifier…Now, I was in SW Virginia for three days, and they have long memories down there; they remember Winsome the Never Trumper…that she referred to supporters of Corey Stewart as Nazis…that she cheered tearing down the monuments during the Black Lives Matter era…She cheered the desecration of the Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond…”
• “Winsome this past week was down rubbing elbows with Maxine Waters and Jesse Jackson and the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center…”
• “[Sears] said [about Corey Stewart] ‘if you surround yourself with white supremacists and Nazis, then you’re telling me that you’re one of them’.”
• LaRock also said he “couldn’t get a response” from Sears on his efforts to pass Sage’s Law “to protect kids against grooming…gender confusion…”

NEW: LaRock Slams Sears for Inability to Unite the GOP and Having No Accomplishments 

VIRGINIA – In a new interview with former Trump Co-Chair John Fredericks, Dave LaRock slammed Winsome Earle-Sears for being unable to unite the Virginia GOP and having no track record to run on.

The comments are the latest in an ongoing battle between Sears, LaRock, and Amanda Chase for the GOP nomination for governor, and follow a terrible story for the Sears campaign that highlights her operation being plagued by problems.

The John Fredericks Show 

• Dave LaRock: “Another difference is, and this goes, I think, to the core of why you, for the most of your coverage of Winsome Sears have opposed her, is because in order to win in November, we need a unifier. We need somebody that brings together the Republican base around a problem solving approach to governance.” 

• LaRock: “Action versus promises. Second. So you say she has a record? I’ve never seen it.”

• LaRock: “So the difference here is I’m taking action on important issues, and she’s been campaigning for the last three years effectively. That’s a distinct difference. I think people see what’s coming out of Washington. It’s the dawn of a new age of governance, responsible governance that is based on transparency and accountability and certainly action. And that’s what I offer. That’s the difference.” 

• LaRock:  “She’s been in office for three years. She has a bully pulpit of the lieutenant governor’s office, and I haven’t seen any action from her on these really critical issues.”
