Republican Glenn Youngkin won Virginia’s governor’s
race in a MASSIVE upset that reshaped the nation’s political landscape.
Republican Jason Miyares defeated incumbent Democrat
Attorney General Mark Herring, becoming the first Hispanic to be
elected to serve as attorney general.
This was a massive Red wave in Blue Virginia where the people rejected
the Left’s Marxist “woke” radical socialism.
House GOP Conference chairwoman Rep. Elise Stefanik
(R-NY) issued this statement after Youngkin’s victory:
“Congratulations
to Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin on his historic and electrifying victory
tonight. Not only is this a win for the Commonwealth, but this is also a win
for America.
Hardworking
Americans are fed up with failed, Far-Left politicians who are destroying our
economy with Socialist tax-and-spend policies and infiltrating our classrooms
with their radical agenda.
Republicans,
Independents, and Democrats undeniably united behind Youngkin’s message to
support parents’ rights and reject dangerous tax hikes, and this is the same
winning message that will propel Republicans to win the House majority next
November.
Glenn
Youngkin kicked off the 2022 Red Wave early, and Republicans are now more
energized than ever to take back the House and fire Lame Duck Speaker Nancy
Pelosi once and for all.”

STATEMENT: AFPI PRESIDENT AND CEO BROOKE ROLLINS CONGRATULATES VA GOV. ELECT YOUNGKIN
Upon learning of the victory of Glenn Youngkin along with
the historic elections of Winsome Sears, the first Black woman to be elected to
serve as Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor, and Jason Miyares, the first Hispanic to
be elected to serve as attorney general, America First Policy Institute President
and CEO Brooke L. Rollins offered the following statement:
“Glenn Youngkin’s victory in Virginia is a tremendous
moment for the Old Dominion — and a signpost on America’s road back to
greatness. The Democrat, leftist, progressive, socialist machine threw
everything they had at Youngkin — and they lost.
Remember this, as you go into 2022, 2024, and beyond: the
other side left nothing on the table … and they were crushed. They were crushed
because the people of Virginia — tired of their arrogance, tired of their
disdain, tired of their loathing for everything they have been and meant — went
to the polls, and exercised their freedom to say no.
No to their rejection of parental rights.
No to their crude attempts to introduce racism into civic
discourse.
No to their belief that incompetent elites deserve to
rule.
Nearly two and a half centuries ago, Americans at
Lexington fired ‘the shot heard ‘round the world.’ Tonight, Virginians cast the
vote heard ‘round the world.’ They voted for Glenn Youngkin, yes — and he
deserves every bit of credit he receives in this tremendous victory.
But underlying the vote for a candidate is a vote for
freedom. For opportunity. For America.
Tonight is the end of the Virginia gubernatorial race.
For America, though — this is the beginning of an America First renewal.”
