Virginia's Economy is Booming - We Can't Afford to Go Back

August 1, 2025

Under the leadership of Governor Glenn Youngkin and Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, Virginia is experiencing historic economic growth—and the momentum is only building. Now it’s time to elect Winsome Earle-Sears as our next governor and double down on this progress.

In a recent X post, Governor Youngkin announced that Virginia’s unemployment rate has dropped to just 2.8%, marking one of the lowest rates in the nation. Since 2021, the Commonwealth has added more than 270,000 new jobs and secured over $121 billion in private sector investment, thanks to the pro-growth, pro-business policies of the Youngkin-Sears administration.

This would never be happening under a Democrat administration.

While Virginia Republicans are cutting red tape and unleashing economic opportunity, Democrats in neighboring states are doing the opposite. Just look at Maryland—where the moment Democrats took full control, they passed the largest tax hike in state history, driving businesses and families out.

That’s the future Virginia faces if Democrats regain power: more taxes, more regulation, fewer jobs, and less opportunity.

The choice this November couldn’t be clearer. Republican leadership is working. Winsome Earle-Sears, John Reid, and Jason Miyares are committed to keeping Virginia open for business, defending right-to-work laws, and fighting for the working families who are driving this comeback.

Virginia has a promising future—but only if we keep moving forward. We can’t afford to go back.
