thanks but when people post things like this can they please add a simple clarification in brackets like “[VA]” so that we know what is being talked about and don’t have to go searching to find out.
I like the ad…. She does need an introduction to voters, as she has not been a newsmaker for the last four years.
Democrats will be running all hate ads all the time against her
I would certainly vote for her if I lived in VA. I have liked her for a long time.
"Virginia state law bars governors from running for a second consecutive term."Whoa, never knew that. So a person could be Virginia Governor three or four times as long as there are no consecutive terms.
And I never knew this, either: historically, other states had similar "no succession" rules, but by 2000, all except Virginia had repealed them.
That's actually not a bad idea. It gives a state a breather from the governor and a chance to evaluate new blood. But, if they like the first guy more, they can return him to office. That could be a good alternative to term limits which are SORELY needed in Congress.

She’s a black woman. Won’t all the democrats vote for her?
Oh, never mind.
I have a few more things to say about “first-generation American”. Years ago it meant something. Today nore than likely it just means you were an anchor baby.
So where do her parents come from?
Also does she not understand she will not be eligible to run for President if her parents were not naturalized American citizens at the time of her birth?
You KNOW that’s what she’s pushing for.
Yeah Republican. The Marine Corps thing has got to be fixed.
Remember the Fort Hood maniac? Mr. Middle East patriot joined the U.S. military then took out half his company in a hail of gunfire.
These people never give up...
I have not seen approval polls for Youngkin, but my sense is he could be reelected, but has to wait four years.
Youngkin is center-right politically, and he was a very timid Trump supporter during his 2021 Governor campaign.
In 2021, Youngkin beat former Democrat Governor Terry McAuliffe by almost 2%.
My sense is that Youngkin would prefer to run for President in 2028.
The Black female GOP Lieutenant Governor has a compelling personal life story, but I am skeptical she can beat a strong Democrat candidate in Virginia.
