Statement from NRSC Chairman Rick Scott:ย โGlenn Youngkin is the next Governor of Virginia because he focused on the issues that Virginians careย about most.ย New NRSC/RGAย polling in the state shows that voters overwhelmingly rejected the Democrats' โwoke' agenda in education and their big-spending agenda that's causing inflation.ย Thankfully for Republicans, Democrats have shown no signs of slowing down. They're doubling down on the agenda that voters in Virginia soundly rejected.โ
