Voters in Virginia will head to the polls this November to pick a new governor. Former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat, and Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, a MAGA Republican, are the candidates.

This is a state race, but one with national implications. (1) The Commonwealth is a national bellwether. It is here where positions, comms, and policy can, and will, be tested and impact the 2026 midterms. (2) Held in the odd year after the presidential election since 1869, Virginia’s gubernatorial race is a cyclical scorecard for voters’ moods and the issues at the forefront of the national consciousness. This enables learning and adjustments for '26
(3) A Spanberger win will lessen the MAGA hold on Governorships, which is crucial to change MAGA policies at the state level (4) A Republican win in Virginia might be seen as a major embrace of Trump and Trumpism, even if it gets decided on other grounds. (5) Down-ballot races matter. While the governor’s race is always the marquee race, Virginia will also be electing all 100 members of the House of Delegates, where Democrats hold the narrowest of margins, 51-49.
