Navy veteran Winsome Earle-Sears outlines security, education and energy plans for Virginia

When my father came to the United States from Jamaica, he only had $1.75 in his pocket. What he carried with him was not wealth or influence, but faith, discipline and common sense. He believed that through education and hard work anything was possible in America.

Her story is my story, and it’s Virginia’s story. It’s about hope, opportunity, and the belief that government should serve the people, not the other way around.

Virginians want to know: Do you see me? Do you know me? Do you care about me? This is the Virginia I fight for every day. A Virginia where people can raise their families safely, send their children to good schools, and afford to keep the lights on.

I returned to politics – after 20 years away – because too many politicians in Richmond and Washington have forgotten that leadership is about service. They are more interested in power than progress. That’s why my final message to Virginians is simple: This is a time for common sense, not nonsense.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS HAVE A VIOLENCE PROBLEM

Security that benefits everyone

Every Virginian deserves to feel safe at home, in their neighborhood, and on their way to work and school. As a U.S. Marine, I have stood alongside law enforcement officers and corrections personnel because they are the ones who respond when danger calls. I believe in responsibility, but I also believe in respect for the rule of law and those who protect us.

Jay Jones and others in his party have made security a political issue rather than a public priority. His murderous fantasies have no place in Virginia. We deserve leaders who speak responsibly and act with integrity. And when Democratic Party leaders like Abigail Spanberger can’t call on Jay Jones to resign, that’s disqualifying at best.

An education rooted in truth and opportunity

Education changed my life. My father used it to lift himself out of poverty, and I have seen first-hand how it opens doors that seemed closed. That’s why, as a former vice chair of the Virginia State Board of Education, I believe parents must be partners in their children’s education. Parents deserve to know what their children are learning and to make the best educational choices for their family.

HOW THE LEFT’S ADOPTION OF MAMDANI COULD DEMANCE DEMOCRATS NATIONWIDE

Abigail Spanberger calls this extreme. I call that common sense. Our schools should teach reading, writing, math and history, not political agendas. Every child deserves a classroom focused on learning and character, not division.

Energy and Affordability for Working Families

Energy prices are not just numbers on a bill. They determine whether families can afford groceries, heat and gas. I believe in a global approach because the cost of energy is added to everything that is produced. We can keep costs low, protect our environment responsibly, and make Virginia energy independent. By focusing on innovation rather than ideology, we can both achieve cleaner air and reduce costs.

Abigail Spanberger and her allies have accepted millions of dollars from environmental activist groups who want to dictate how Virginians live and work. Their plans would raise energy prices and hurt small businesses. This is not leadership. It’s absurd. I fight for energy policies that make sense for working families and strengthen Virginia’s economy.

VIRGINIA’S OBSCENE SHOW OF A DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE ‘MOM’ WHO IS NOT FAMILY

Listening leadership

Throughout this campaign, I have met parents, small business owners, veterans and young people who are all calling for the same thing. They want leaders who listen, who lead according to principles, and who remember that common sense always counts. They don’t want politicians with wild words.

This election does not concern me. It’s about you, Virginians! It’s about whether we let the nonsense raging in Richmond divide us or whether we come together to build a Commonwealth that works for everyone.

It’s time to restore confidence in leadership. It is time to restore transparency and accountability to government. It is time for unity based on hard work, respect and love for Virginia. It’s time to let the wounds of Virginia’s past heal.

Now is the time for common sense, not nonsense.
