Former Republican Del. Winsome Sears defeated Hala Ayala, a Democratic member of the Virginia House of Delegates in Tuesday's race for Virginia's lieutenant governor.
Polls closed in Virginia at 7 p.m. ET.
The candidates:
Sears, made history as the first Black Republican woman elected to the House in 2002 after she ousted the 20-year Democratic incumbent of Virginia's 90th District, William Robinson. A Jamaican immigrant, she also became the first naturalized US citizen to serve in the House. She is also the first woman of color to be elected to statewide office in Virginia, where politics have historically been dominated by white men.

Thanks for the link, #2. She looks fantastic...and, as one commenter noted, she "accessorizes well"!

Yep, proof that those Virginia voters are pure white supremacists......

Odd name....but what the heck, seems like a squared away Marine to me.

Caught her on Tucker Carlson the other night and was extremely impressed. Thrilled that she won. Clearly, people are waking up to the democrat lies, incompetence and corruption. She is a lovely and accomplished woman so unlike the women democrats champion. This is a woman of substance.

Neither CNN nor MSDNC aired her victory speech. Surprise - - surprise.
I guess Winsome isn't black enough for the racists on those commie networks.

Joe Biden; "If you're a Black Conservative then you ain't Black." or something like that, Anyway I extremely proud of the state that I spent 8 years and retired from the Navy in that the made this awesome woman their Lt. Governor. Winsome Sears served her country, is pro life and pro 2A. She is the complete opposite of that idiot Justin Fairfax. Congratulations to her and her campaign.

Seriously, #6????
Her name would not have been unusual for a black woman in the 19th century. It was probably the name of one of her ancestors, a great grandmother perhaps.
Ever heard of Sojourner Truth?

Winsome Sears had campaign signs featuring her holding a huge assault rifle. That's shows guts, shoving it right in the face of the Marxist media. She's a rising star and is showing how it's done. Sears is a Jamaican-born Marine Corps veteran. A strong black conservative woman who won't back down is the lib's worst nightmare. It nukes several of their phony narratives.
It's morning in America again. Even in my democrat controlled county in Northeast PA, the democrats got slaughtered up and down the ballot.

Good for Sears. She looks and is smart and has all the pieces to advance further in Virginia politics.

Obviously #6 has never seen her speak. As far as her name is concerned does it really matter? She has the character and background to make her highly qualified for the position. Her name is most likely from her heritage. She is a naturalized American citizen of Jamaican an Haitian roots.

I wish her well...here's hoping no FBI agents storm her home at 6:00am in the morning to intimidate her family...

I saw this very wonderful woman Winsome Sears, on Mark Levin on Sunday. I so admire her and am so very pleased she won this election. Did not know of her. What a great woman.

She's the antithesis of the angry black woman personified by Waters, Abrams, customer at the fast-food restaurant, or creature behind the counter at the DMV.

We stayed up for Mrs. Winsome's speech and it was very emotional and touching. She shared how she came to this Country and what it meant to be a citizen. What an American!!! And she gave praise to God for her success! That's humility, which is not seen in the demonrat party today.
