76% Informative

Winsome Sears of Virginia could make history next year as the nation's first Black woman to win election as a governor.

Sears , who immigrated to the U.S. as a 6-year-old , served in the Marines and is a former state lawmaker.

Sears has a major supporter in popular Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin , who three years ago became the first Republican in a dozen years to win a gubernatorial election in Virginia .

Sears : "I'm not really running to make history. I'm just trying to.. leave it better than I found it".

Sears avoided a competitive primary when Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares announced last month that he would seek re-election rather than run for governor.

Three -term Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger , a former CIA officer, is her party's candidate for governor in 2025 .

Sears is viewed by political pundits as more socially conservative than Youngkin , who hailed from the GOP 's business wing.
