VIRGINIA – Today, following a new report from NOTUS, elected leaders and a small business owner called out Winsome Earle-Sears for ripping off customers and then attacking them after they left reviews complaining about her business practices and lack of professionalism.
These recent revelations about Sears’ business follow reports that she took more than $100,000 in PPP loans, while later calling federal funding “monopoly money” and supporting Donald Trump’s attacks on Virginia’s federal workforce that threaten more than 320,000 Virginians’ livelihoods.
“In my various roles, I’ve worked with many different leaders and business owners and I think we would all agree this is not leadership and this is not how you run a business,” said Mark Cannady, a Virginia business owner and chair of the Democratic Party of Virginia Small Business Caucus. “From ripping customers off to attacking them online, it’s clear Winsome Earle-Sears can’t be trusted with a business and definitely can’t be trusted to be Governor.”
“Winsome Earle-Sears has cheered on these layoffs that are devastating Virginians all in support of cutting federal spending, but as we heard earlier, she had no problem taking out more than $100,000 in PPP loans when her business needed it during the pandemic,” said Sheila Elliott, President of AFGE Local 2328 which represents federal workers.
“Sears’ ‘successful’ small business had a majority of one star reviews on Yelp and Google Reviews that point to Sears ripping customers off. If customers couldn’t trust her, how can Virginians?” said Delegate Debra Gardner. “These reviews are a reminder that Winsome Earle-Sears is not up for the job of governor.”
“Sears’ hypocrisy on this is a glaring red flag. Virginians should be able to trust their leaders to practice what they preach instead of railing against policies they benefitted from,” said Delegate Kelly Convirs-Fowler.
