Winsome Sears will become Virginia lieutenant governor, CNN projects, becoming first female and woman of color in the office

Winsome Sears, a conservative Republican, will be Virginia's next lieutenant governor, breaking barriers as the first female and the first woman of color in the office in the commonwealth's 400-year legislative history. CNN projected Sears' win over Democrat Del. Hala Ayala, also a woman of color, on Wednesday. Sears will serve alongside Republican Glenn Youngkin, whom CNN projected would win the Virginia gubernatorial race.

Sears, who was born in Jamaica, is the first Black Republican woman to be elected to the Virginia General Assembly, representing the 90th district from 2002 for one term. In 2004, she launched an unsuccessful bid for Congress against Democrat Rep. Bobby Scott. She is also a Marine veteran, former vice president of the Virginia Board of Education and owner of an appliance business. She is a wife and mother of three daughters. In 2012, her 27-year-old daughter DeJon L'Air Williams and two grandchildren died in a car accident.

Y’all figured out the “narrative” yet?
According to the Legacy Media, who has intrinsic worth and who doesn’t?

How long before they report how having Black people in office is a bad thing. We know if she was a Democrat this be a much more widely reported story.

[Envisioning]

Good looking family. The tide is turning.

[joma89]

And all the racists at cnn care about is her skin color.

According to MSNBC, as part of the racist ticket she had better renounce her Klan membership before taking office...
