"My opponent, all summer long, has been playing political football with federal workers by trying to say that she loves them more than anyone else,"
"sticking up for federal workers in the face of the "chaos from Washington.""

Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic nominee and former congresswoman, has maintained an early and consistent lead over Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. Voters prioritize energy prices, housing affordability, and jobs, but the contest increasingly centers on political violence, redistricting, and the impact of federal workforce disruptions.
