RICHMOND, Va. — The Spanberger for Governor campaign today released a new TV and digital ad highlighting Winsome Earle-Sears’ vocal support for the Republican tax law that will raise costs on Virginia families.
The new ad, titled “Raise Costs,” highlights Sears’ praise for the Republican bill signed into law last month by President Trump. Sears said the legislation — which is projected to raise Virginians’ healthcare costs, mortgage payments, and utility bills — “does so many great things.” The ad will begin airing in the Richmond and Norfolk media markets starting today.
While Sears has repeatedly demonstrated that she puts loyalty to Donald Trump ahead of what’s best for Virginia, Abigail Spanberger has been outspoken about the consequences of this law for Virginians — including the estimated hundreds of thousands of Virginians who will lose their healthcare coverage. As Republicans try to make life more expensive for Virginia families, Spanberger is focused on making Virginia more affordable. Earlier this year, Spanberger announced her “Affordable Virginia Plan,” which lays out the concrete ways that her administration will get to work to lower Virginians’ healthcare and prescription drug, housing, and energy costs.
