comfortable lead in the polls,<\/a> and that advantage was reflected in the assessments of our panelists, eight of whom favored her over Ms. Earle-Sears. They liked what they described as Ms. Spanberger\u2019s moderate approach, and believed that she would work with the Trump administration as necessary while also defending Virginians\u2019 rights. Ms. Earle-Sears\u2019s supporters praised what they called her business-friendly approach, and said she would have a smoother relationship with the White House. But even they faulted a campaign that they said offered little in the way of vision or creativity. <\/p>\nThe Choice was prepared by Times Opinion editors using a brief questionnaire and a round-table discussion with all the panelists in late September, supplemented by individual conversations. The material has been edited for length and clarity.<\/p>\n

The cost of living tops my list of priorities. A lot of politicians like to pay lip service to affordability on the campaign trail, but making progress will require focus.<\/p>\n
The business environment and affordability are tightly linked because major employers want to settle in states that can attract and retain a strong work force \u2014 where people can afford to live where they work. I know sometimes it seems like the federal government is the ocean and the governor is just riding the waves. But there really is a lot the governor can do to foster a strong business climate here at home. Richmond can play a role in addressing local regulations that drive up the cost of living.Abigail Spanberger also has a clear set of plans for work force development and fostering innovation, to invest in the infrastructure and institutions that drive job creation: our schools, research centers, hospitals and cutting-edge industries.![\"Javion](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/peterson.png\")

I\u2019m supporting Spanberger, but her potential is limited by the struggling U.S. economy.<\/p>\n

You want to be governor when the economy is doing well. The next governor is going to face an economy that is not doing particularly well. So the economy is at the top of the list. And how the business community is doing, how tax revenues are coming in \u2014 that controls and influences everything else. I also want the next governor to maintain a pro-business environment in Virginia. Winsome Sears, I think, would take a more pro-business approach to policy and economic development, building on many of the programs put in place by Governor Youngkin.<\/p>\n
In addition, I think Spanberger will be pressured to change Virginia\u2019s right-to-work law and approve collective bargaining for state employees, both of which I believe would harm Virginia\u2019s standing as one of the most pro-business states in the nation.![\"Buz](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/grossberg.png\")

Job losses in Virginia and addressing what we can do about them is a big priority, and how we can save these jobs and these employees from a lot of extra harm, like cuts to health care. Sears would not be more effective at creating jobs and improving the economy. She would continue to follow the playbook of Youngkin and Trump.<\/p>\n

With tariffs and inflation, I\u2019m not sure how the middle class and professional class can sustain spending. But the Commonwealth already holds robust and growing corporate investment sectors, which Spanberger could balance with her stated desire to ensure that corporations pay their fair share and thereby benefit the broader public and working-class electorate.<\/p>\n

Spanberger\u2019s approach focuses on long-term, steady growth by investing in people through job training, education and work force development, so Virginians have the skills that businesses need.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bill Bolling Republican and former lieutenant governor<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve been very fortunate in Virginia for a long time under governors of both political parties to have been recognized as one of the most pro-business states in the nation. But we\u2019re facing challenges on two fronts. One is all of the DOGE cuts and the impact that has on the federal work force. I also think we\u2019re going to see the next governor deal with revenue deficits. And then you have to make really tough decisions about how you spend money.<\/p>\n

Affordability is top of mind, and I don\u2019t see anything showing me how Sears would lower the cost of living for me.<\/p>\n
My utility bill that comes in the mail every month, that was over $400 last month. Things like that is what voters are thinking about \u2014 at least what my family is thinking about when I think of the economy. And so looking for governor candidates that talk directly to that, I think Abigail\u2019s got a really strong plan. <\/p>\n
Bill Bolling Republican and former lieutenant governor<\/p>\n
Whether you like President Trump or not, you do not want to create an enemy of the federal government. If you do, it\u2019s going to be a really, really rough ride. If Spanberger is elected governor, I\u2019d expect to see constant warfare between her administration and the Trump administration over numerous policy issues, including immigration enforcement, educational policy, environmental policy and policies regarding transgender students.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adrian Mathura Former U.S.A.I.D. senior adviser<\/p>\n
I agree. It doesn\u2019t serve us to have the next governor fight the administration. I\u2019d like to see Spanberger work on supporting the many federal or federal-adjacent people in my community, supporting the economy and supporting Virginia. But in cases where our rights are in conflict with federal government initiatives, she needs to act decisively to protect the people of Virginia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Buz Grossberg Restaurant owner in Richmond<\/p>\n
I think Sears will follow the divisive MAGA agenda. Spanberger will work for Virginians to preserve democracy.<\/p>\n

Those two are not going to get along, because he doesn\u2019t get along with hardly anybody. That\u2019s just how it is.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rhena Hicks Co-executive director of Freedom Virginia<\/p>\n
I would hope that she would be very nuanced in her relationship with Trump. I love the fire and the passion that Gavin Newsom brings, but Virginia, geographically, we are so intertwined with D.C., many people\u2019s livelihoods depend on it, including in other parts of the state, not just northern Virginia. I think she would throw the gauntlet down when needed, and work with him when it was beneficial to Virginia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Leslie Houston Educator and former union president<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t take much to be an enemy of the federal government. Spanberger has a history of being pragmatic, and I hope that she will remain that way. I would like to see her take a firm and assertive stance in defending Virginia\u2019s interests if they are threatened.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sally Hudson Economist and former Democratic House delegate<\/p>\n
I think if Winsome Earle-Sears is governor, the federal government will view it as an open invitation to meddle in our every institution, from our schools to our courts. We\u2019re already seeing some of that under Governor Youngkin. Virginians are savvy voters. They understand the relationship between local, state and federal government because of our proximity. We\u2019re looking for a governor who is going to protect Virginia. Abigail Spanberger can find ways to work with Washington when it serves Virginians well, but she\u2019s also shown she\u2019s willing to put Virginians first when our rights and institutions are under attack.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Buz Grossberg Restaurant owner in Richmond<\/p>\n
We\u2019re in a situation where standing back and using the old rules may not apply because there\u2019s such an egregious affront against our Democratic rights. We may need to push back more than most people expect. We\u2019re seeing the demise or demoralization of the democracy we love so much, along with the rule of law. That\u2019s one of the things that really, really frustrates me and makes me scared, to be perfectly honest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Charlie Nave Lawyer and Roanoke City G.O.P. Committee chair<\/p>\n
Winsome Sears and Donald Trump are from different factions within the Republican Party. And they\u2019re not in perfect alignment, but I think they\u2019re going to work well enough together for the good of the whole Commonwealth. I think that Winsome Sears\u2019s greatest opportunity is to be a check against the legislature.<\/p>\n
If there\u2019s a Democrat majority in the House of Delegates after Election Day, then she is going to be facing a pretty partisan, extreme, in my view, Democrat Party. The thing I\u2019d be looking for her to do the most is to use that veto pen and keep it full of ink. <\/p>\n
Javion T. Peterson Student and former legislative aide<\/p>\n
Abigail Spanberger would best handle it. Because of her tenure in Congress during the previous Trump presidency, she dealt with the chaos in D.C. and established relationships with congressional members from both parties.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rhena Hicks Co-executive director of Freedom Virginia<\/p>\n
Above any of the issues on the campaign trail, education is the one that I hear Abigail Spanberger talk about the most. And I do think it\u2019ll be nice to have a governor with children in Virginia public schools.<\/p>\n
Typically, I\u2019m the one informing friends of everything, due to the nature of my job. And I think it\u2019s really interesting that lately, the mom group chats have been popping off about things that I\u2019m normally trying to shake them into caring about \u2014 around revenue, curriculum, for example. And I will say none of my group chats ever talk about transgender kids in bathrooms. <\/p>\n
Leslie Houston Educator and former union president<\/p>\n
In Fairfax County, they are talking about this a lot. It\u2019s an important issue. Parents have every right to feel the way they do, and as a parent myself, I understand their concerns. I also think we can\u2019t lose sight of issues like school funding and equity. Our schools are being asked to do more with less. Our teachers are overworked and underpaid.<\/p>\n
Listen, there was a time when I was in the school system where, as a teacher, before school even started, I\u2019d already spent $1,000 \u2014 and federally you could only write off, at that time, $250 \u2014 to ensure that my students had snacks and food to eat because kids can\u2019t learn if they\u2019re hungry.We\u2019re struggling with class sizes that are too large and some students who are exhibiting behaviors we were not seeing before the pandemic. <\/p>\n
Charlie Nave Lawyer and Roanoke City G.O.P. Committee chair<\/p>\n
Virginia has a lot more home-schooling than four years ago. My own children are home-schooled, and we\u2019ve seen a flood of more people coming into the home-school co-ops and getting interested in home-schooling because their trust in the local public schools has just plummeted. <\/p>\n
They see them focusing on not reading or writing, but all sorts of fads and trends. And we\u2019ve all been seeing what\u2019s going on up in northern Virginia with transgender kids in locker rooms; this seems like an absolutely dead-to-rights issue. For crying out loud, how can you even focus on doing this when the children aren\u2019t able to read at grade level? <\/p>\n
Bill Bolling Republican and former lieutenant governor<\/p>\n
The candidates are very different on these cultural issues. Sears is pro-life. Spanberger is pro-choice. Sears has made the prohibition of transgender students using the same restroom and locker room facilities as young girls a centerpiece of her campaign. She would promote state policies on these issues. On the other hand, Spanberger has taken the position that issues of this nature should be dealt with at the local level, not the state level.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tom Sheets President of Blue Ridge Lumber<\/p>\n
On transgender issues and abortion, both candidates would appeal to their base, with Sears being too inflexible on abortion. Spanberger would be more open to compromise.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Charlie Nave Lawyer and Roanoke City G.O.P. Committee chair<\/p>\n
Sears will handle these better because she has a common-sense perspective on these issues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rhena Hicks Co-executive director of Freedom Virginia<\/p>\n
Abigail Spanberger for sure would handle these issues better. She is competent, measured and trusts the experts in the room. Whichever way the MAGA wind blows is where Winsome Sears will take a hard-line stance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adrian Mathura Former U.S.A.I.D. senior adviser<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think Spanberger has responded with enough conviction to Sears\u2019s strong and overwhelmingly out-of-bounds attacks on transgender rights. For example, she could have more strongly said this is merely a culture war matter used to incite passions and fears. If Spanberger is unable to stand strong against these basic civil rights issues, she will likely be ineffective in countering the onslaught of abuses underway by the current federal administration.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sally Hudson Economist and former Democratic House delegate<\/p>\n
Virginia\u2019s governor has to respect the rights and dignity of all Virginians. When you start with genuine respect for all the people you serve, it\u2019s not hard to handle divisive issues with moral clarity. Abigail Spanberger has that sincere commitment to public service.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Javion T. Peterson Student and former legislative aide<\/p>\n
Winsome Earle-Sears has demonstrated she does not have the capacity to handle these complex issues \u2014 abortion and transgender rights \u2014 with the sensitivity necessary.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Leslie Houston Educator and former union president<\/p>\n
I am voting for Abigail Spanberger because, in my opinion, she is the lesser of two evils. I was a critic because I felt like she was not addressing issues within the Black community, but based on this conversation, it seems she\u2019s not reaching other communities either. I\u2019m worried about housing, about affordability, about homelessness. If we don\u2019t find a governor that has some type of integrity and compassion \u2014 and at least Abigail Spanberger appears to have some \u2014 then we will be in trouble.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Javion T. Peterson Student and former legislative aide<\/p>\n
I want the next governor to have a sense of collaboration.The budget needs the governor, the state house and the state senate all working together.<\/p>\n
I want the governor to be able to advocate for policies and talk with the people who are in the communities every day doing the work. Abigail Spanberger is better suited to be a champion for the agencies and the institutions and the people doing the work. These are the people that are shaping the economy. <\/p>\n
Bill Bolling Republican and former lieutenant governor<\/p>\n
If you listen to the television ads, you ought to oppose Winsome Earle-Sears because she\u2019s just like Donald Trump. And if you listen to other television ads, you ought to oppose Abigail Spanberger because she wants to let biological males play female sports and use female locker rooms. That seems to be the public message of both campaigns.<\/p>\n
Now, if you go to their websites and you dig a little bit, you can find a little bit of policy information in some places, but there is not much policy information out there. That should concern us all. <\/p>\n
Tom Sheets President of Blue Ridge Lumber<\/p>\n
I agree with Bill \u2014 it\u2019s negative ads. We\u2019ve always had a problem. Nobody\u2019s telling us what they want to do for us, do for Virginia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sally Hudson Economist and former Democratic House delegate<\/p>\n
There\u2019s an old saying that a leader needs three bones: a wishbone to dream big, a jawbone to speak up and a backbone to stand strong. I think a leader in this time needs the backbone most of all.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rhena Hicks Co-executive director of Freedom Virginia<\/p>\n
We need a Virginian-first mentality right now.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Charlie Nave Lawyer and Roanoke City G.O.P. Committee chair<\/p>\n
We need a leader who\u2019s inspirational so that we can be unified.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Buz Grossberg Restaurant owner in Richmond<\/p>\n
Well, for me, we need a leader that\u2019s going to push hard to follow the rule of law. Here in the state, in federal government, wherever it may be, it\u2019s got to be honesty and integrity and following the rule of law, because that\u2019s what our country was built on.<\/p>\n
