Virginia election governor Earle Sears Spanberger.

Virginia will elect its first woman as governor as Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears and Democratic U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger look to replace term-limited Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin. Voters on Tuesday will also decide races for lieutenant governor, state attorney general and the state House of Delegates. Historically, the results of the Virginia gubernatorial election have been closely watched on a national level as a possible indicator of voter sentiment toward the party holding the White House.
