news.cenet.topYoungkin, GOP groups launch 7-figure investment in Virginia

Desmond Milligan · August 6

The Republican State Leadership Committee PAC and the Republican Attorneys General Association teamed up with Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R) Secure Your Vote initiative to launch a seven-figure investment to turn out voters on Wednesday ahead of the state’s off-year elections in November.

The investment will include direct mail, digital outreach, and grassroots efforts to support incumbent state Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) and Republicans running in House of Delegates races.

“We simply can’t afford to fall behind before Election Day — that’s why I’m excited to have such committed partners joining us in this critical effort. For the entire GOP ticket, Secure Your Vote Virginia is the key to winning — not just in 2025, but for the long haul,” Youngkin said in a statement.

Many Virginia Republicans argue that Miyares is the strongest part of the Republican ticket.

However, polls show Virginia’s Republican ticket trailing Democrats. A poll released last month by the Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University, showed former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D) leading state Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R) 49 percent to 37 percent among registered voters in the state.

In the lieutenant governor’s race, state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi (D) leads conservative talk show host John Reid 46 percent to 36 percent, while in the attorney general race, former state Del. Jay Jones (D) leads Miyares 47 percent to 38 percent.
