Spanberger Leans on Nostalgia — But Her Record Tells a Different Story
New Ad Highlights Her Father’s Career While Dodging Her Own Work for Saudi Government and Failures on Crime, Taxes, and the Grid
RICHMOND, VA — In a new campaign ad released today, Abigail Spanberger’s father narrates a sentimental account of her early career in law enforcement and the CIA — but conspicuously omits her paid role teaching at a school funded by the Saudi government, and her deeply partisan record in Congress.
“It’s a cute tribute, but Virginia voters deserve the full picture,” said Winsome Earle-Sears spokesperson Peyton Vogel. “This ad glosses over Abigail Spanberger’s decision to work for a Saudi-funded school and skips right past her years of rubber-stamping failed liberal policies in Washington.”
The ad claims Spanberger “worked with both parties to get things done,” but voters remember:
-
Support for trillions in reckless spending that fueled inflation
-
An energy plan that risks blackouts and higher utility bills
And now, instead of defending her own record, Spanberger hides behind her father.
“If Abigail Spanberger can’t be honest with her own father about her work and voting record, how can Virginians trust her to be honest with them?” Vogel continued. “Winsome doesn’t need a rebrand. She’s a proven, trusted leader who stands by her record and has nothing to hide.”
By contrast, Winsome Earle-Sears has built her life and campaign on service, sacrifice, and results from the Marine Corps to the Lieutenant Governor’s office. And as Governor, she will always be honest with Virginians.

Statement Regarding Unilateral Committee Meeting Notice
RICHMOND, VA – We have been advised that Senate Democrats have unilaterally scheduled a meeting of the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee for Monday, without any prior consultation with Republican members or notice sufficient to accommodate participation by all committee members.
Once again, they appear poised to take further action regarding pending gubernatorial appointments to college and university boards—actions that would depart from the traditions of the Senate, ignore established rules, and undermine the institutional independence of Virginia’s institutions of higher education.
This approach continues a troubling pattern of partisanship: first, the abrupt committee vote to block qualified nominees without debate; then, a letter from the Clerk issued at the direction of the Democratic Chair claiming a “refusal to confirm” appointments despite clear constitutional, statutory, and procedural grounds to the contrary; and now, a committee meeting called without even the courtesy of informing all its members.
The public deserves a process that honors transparency, fairness, and the constitutional requirement of bicameral action in confirming appointments. We will continue to pursue every appropriate legislative and procedural remedy to uphold those principles and ensure that the Governor’s appointees receive fair and timely consideration.
July 12, 2025 Update: Official Call PDF and HD33 Request for Consideration Form PDF
Greetings all.
I wanted to share with the Page County Republicans an update of the process District 33 Legislative District Committee is working through to select a nominee to fill the seat held by Delegate Todd Gilbert in the Virginia House.
I am forwarding a summary written by the Rockingham GOP Chairman as it captures all the relevant information.
Note that the ratios listed in the “call” for each county were provided by the RPV. When asked how they were derived, this is what I received: “The formula is built off of a summation of Republican vote totals in the most recent Presidential and Gubernatorial elections. So the percentage turnout would not factor in, rather the raw vote totals drive the equation.”
I will provide further updates as needed.
Best Wishes

Greetings Page County Republicans,
The Page County Republican committee successfully executed yet another fantastic float for this year’s Stanley 4th of July/Homecoming parade.
The team gathered at JD Cave’s property and using his son’s, Jason, great hayride trailer, they turned the trailer into another patriotic masterpiece showcasing our Republican candidates for upcoming elections.
Once on the move, many of our team took to the streets passing out over 800 small American handheld flags to the children and adults alike who lined the streets to see the parade.
The float and its riders, received a warm welcome with cheers and applause as it moved along the parade route, in tow behind Bob Drumheller’s gleaming black pick-up truck, which he had shined for the occasion.
As Bob commented, “I have never been more proud to be with a group of fantastic friends doing a job for our community.”
While the team might have been small, they did a fantastic job, working well together to show their artistic abilities in float design. They are to be commended for their willingness to offer their time to make the float a success.
The team consisted of Bob Drumheller, Karen and Carey Kebrie, Patricia Johnson (our float project leader); Mary Fedor, and Bucky Thomas (our Candidate for Chairman of Page County Board of Directors) and his bride Teresa.
Hats off to these dedicated Page County Republican Committee volunteers for their support and friendship.
We would love to have more of you join us for our next event, which will be the manning of the Republican booth at the Page County Fair in August. We also have a huge Republican party/picnic coming in September and then manning the tents once early voting starts, 19 September, outside the County Admin building and at the polls in November. So stay tuned and keep your Republican “Red” shirts pressed and available.
Best Regards
Michael Overfelt
Chairman, Page County Republican Committee
