Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor won a historic victory in 2021. Now there’s talk of Winsome Earle-Sears potentially becoming the country’s first black female governor.
For now, Sears is hoping to help turn the Commonwealth fully red in next month’s state elections. Along with her boss, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, they’re aiming to win full control of state government in Virginia’s 2023 legislative mid-term elections. If they keep the House and capture the Senate, they’ll control state government at all levels.
Sears is a woman of strong faith, and in her new book, How Sweet It Is: Defending the American Dream, she recounts how the Lord has led her through the ups and downs of her extraordinary life.
